Hebrews 12:11
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Christine E. from Somewhere said:
Discipline takes obedience and that is hard work! God teaches his children who have been scattered to obey Him instead of what society tells them. I relate to the prodigal in that I have traveled a road that was not always what God wanted for me. I had been very stubborn and still am. As His daughter I can be sure that I have Him but I am reminded that receiving God's discipline is not easy and many times it is laborious. I do know that I become more peaceful as time goes by, and this is not from myself. It is from Him. He is not a Father that leaves us in a mess so why would He allow His to keep being the same way we have always been? He is thorough and his plans happen as He says they will. What a joy to know that He is so loving to endure with us also.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
God disciplines us, just as I remember my father disciplining me when I was disobedient to what I was to do, and it made a better person of me. I see many young people today who have not been properly disciplined, and they are unruly and have little or no respect for others or the value even of public property. I watch as young people finish a can of pop and just through the empty container on the side of the street. If I had done such a thing as a child, I'd have been made to go pick it up, and possibly have a punishment for doing so, so I would remember not to do that again. God bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ, here,

Derek N. from San Jose, CA said:
I am grateful for all that I experience in life, the good and the bad experiences. Because I know God has intended for them to produce in me a harvest of righteousness and peace that is more valuable than silver, gold, and diamond. After all, who loves us more than our heavenly Father and who in the universe can give the greatest gifts but our beloved God? He has given us the greatest gift of all, which is his son, Jesus our LORD and Savior. Thank you Father.

Dear Lord, discipline me now so that I may have righteousness and peace later. I know You discipline me because You love me. Thank You Jesus.

Yvonne H. from New London, CT said:
When I think of discipline in terms of parents disciplining their children, I think of my own childhood and the disipline I received. I agree with the author, it definitely was not pleasant, but produced positive results (at least I think I'm a pretty good person). So when we think of God as "Father," we must realize that He will at times chastize and discipline us because He loves us and wants us to be the best we can be for His name's sake. No one wants to be chastized, but sometimes, in our disobedience, whether in thought, word, or deed, while we are trying to justify our actions, God knows what's best. When I reflect on those times in my life, I can truly say that I am thankful for His discipline.
