Hebrews 12:11 No discipline seems pleasant at the ;me, but painful. Later, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.


When we come to know Jesus as our Savior, HE is going to step into our lives and teach us some things. We are so out of step with the ways of God, that God lovingly disciplines us, trains us, into the way we should go. His purpose is to produce a harvest of righteousness and peace in us and around us. God makes us divinely productive. We need to accept suffering and discipline in the right spirit, or it will not produce the intended results. We must realize that God is training us and learn all that we can in our life lessons.
