At times there is a need to chastise or correct our children. It's never fun and often comes with much heartache. The result is always growth for the parent and hopefully for the child too. Situations and distances can make it difficult. But when it's received with love you recognize that it is all worthwhile.
Isn't that what the scriptures are? Our Father chastizing us for our misdeeds and praises for our good behavior? His letters to us giving us His wise council. There are always parallels that can be drawn for each situation in our lives. I am ever grateful for these difficult growth spurts in my spiritual life.

What a wonderful way of thinking of the scriptures. I had never thought of it that way.
