为了接受管教，你们要忍受，因为 神待你们好象待儿子一样；哪有儿子不受父亲管教的呢？(希伯来书 12:7)
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? (Hebrews 12:7)
we might not always want to go to God right away when we have a problem or are struggling in a certain area. We know that He could provide immediate relief from our pain, but He is more concerned with dealing with the root of the problem. We may be afraid that He will reveal issues that we are unprepared or unwilling to deal with.
His discipline, though perhaps painful, is wise, and His touch is loving. He loves us too much to let us remain as we are; He wants to conform us to the likeness of His Son, Jesus (Rom. 8:29). God’s purposes of love can be trusted more than any of our emotions of fear.
God’s discipline is much more than just rebuke and punishment. It includes nurture, instruction, and training in holiness and righteousness
God’s hand of discipline is a hand of love.
