Blessed Sorrow

Hebrews 12:8-11
If God doesn’t discipline you

as he does all of his children,

it means that you are illegitimate

and are not really his children
at all.

Since we respected

our earthly fathers

who disciplined us,

shouldn’t we submit even more

to the discipline
of the Father of our spirits,

and live forever?

For our earthly fathers

disciplined us for a few years,

doing the best they knew how.

But God’s discipline

is always good for us,

so that we might share

in his holiness.

No discipline is enjoyable

while it is happening —
it’s painful!

But afterward
there will be a peaceful harvest
of right living

for those who are trained

in this way.
