I would have preferred a time out, but at least I know I'm loved☺

Hebrews 12:5-11

5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
    nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
    and chastises every son whom he receives.”

7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Wanda,

Not certain what He is bringing you through, but, I am sixteen years in a multi-front attack.  I have expressed to Poppa 1) I do not question His authority to do in my life as He sees fit, 2) that I see this as a stamp, an imprimatur, that indicates sonship, and His love of me, 3) I cannot handle much more... unless He deigns elsewise.

Sincerely,

Tony

Luke 8:43
And a woman was there who was subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could
heal her. 44-She came up behind Him and touched the edge of His cloak and immediately
her bleeding stopped.45- “ Who touched me?” Jesus asked.
When they all denied it, Peter said” Master , the people are crowding and pressing against you.
46- But Jesus said,” Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
47- Then the woman seeing that she could not go unnoticed,came trembling and fell at His
feet. In the presence of all the people,she told why she had touched Him and how she had been instantly healed. “ Then He said to her,”Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in Peace.”❤️

Thank you Tony.

I was reading the book of Hebrews at the time, and these verses reminded me of a loving parent, who after disciplining  a child, would explain why the punishment was necessary and really for their own good. I had read these scriptures before, but this time they had a significantly deeper meaning.

Tony, I truly believe the worst that can happen is behind me now, and I hope you will soon feel the same.

Isaiah 66:9

"I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born, says the Lord

12. Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
