Please, Lord, may this become my "mantra" because right now I don't care much for Your discipline. Sometimes, I downright despise it because I am a wimp and I am faithless. I stubbornly cling to the idols of my heart- my selfish desires- refusing to relinquish them for what You've already told me in Your Word about who You are.
"Let the rains of disappointment come, if they water the plants of spiritual grace. Let the winds of adversity blow, if they serve to root more securely the trees that God has planted. Let the sun of prosperity be eclipsed, if that brings me closer to the true light of life. Welcome, sweet discipline, discipline designed for my joy, discipline designed to make me what God wants me to be" (Author Unknown)
God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. (Heb. 12:10)
