Anyone could do that!

can this be? That we might share His holiness,
His righteousness.
There is however, a difference in the way
we discipline our children and the way God
disciplines us, His children. As earthly parents,
we make mistakes. We give five swats when we
should have given ten or when we should have
taken them for ice cream instead and had a
meaningful talk.
But when God uses whatever means of
discipline He wants to use, He knows exactly
how much to give, what pressure to use, and
in what situation. He spanks exactly right; not
too hard and not too soft, but only that which
accomplishes His purpose for His glory.
I knew my mom and grandfather loved me
because of their care and—yes—even because
of their lickins. If, like me, you have experienced
God’s hand of discipline, remember the fruit it
will bring. His love is felt daily as He cares and
reproves us for our sake and especially for His
glory.
