Correction = Love

Hebrews 12: 10-11

If God allowed you to freely sin without correction His death on the cross would be futile and it would disprove His Love for you. No one likes to be told they are wrong and no one ever likes to be disciplined. Because sin admits failure and error in our lives. Sins show our short comings, embarrasses us, shows our poor judgement, and reveals our sinful desires not matter how perverse they are. Our desire to sin overrides our desire to please God when we say "This is who I am", "This is how God made me", or "Only God can judge me." All these are lies and just excuses to live in sin. But God in His great love in His own way disciplines us and brings us back to Him (2 Corinthians 7:10), We must accept God's correction and take advantage of the opportunity and change. God is not anger with you when he corrects you, He is filled with compassion and love for you (Exodus 34:6) So let us not despise His correction but rather embrace it as a wake up call and an opportunity for growth in Jesus. Because all His correction truly is having God put His arms around you and remind you of His Unconditional Love. Stay focused, you can do this.

 "In His JOY!"
