correction is not condemnation....
A chapter in the book A Collection of Dennis Clough's Wit
Growing Up Spiritually
by Deniz22
"Honey, why are you crying?"
"Daddy hates me! He condemned me!"
"No He didn't, Honey. He CORRECTED you...there's a big difference."
God Disciplines His Children
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
"My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son."
Hebrews 12:4-6
New International Version (NIV)
