The Love That Brings Us BackSample

God’s discipline is something we may not understand at first glance. Amid life's corrections and challenges, we often ask ourselves, "Why is this happening to me?" But behind every act of discipline is the heart of a loving Father. He doesn’t correct us to punish us, but to guide us back to the right path, protecting us from the traps we cannot see on our own.

Like the Good Shepherd, He knows the dangers that surround us. Sometimes the sheep stray without realizing it, and the Shepherd needs to intervene. This is how God works with us. His corrections are not to harm us but to bring us closer to Him, to remind us that we are safe under His care. His discipline is proof that He is paying attention, and that He deeply cares about every step we take.

It can be difficult to accept correction, but when we understand that it comes from a place of infinite love, it becomes something precious. God desires our good, and even in moments of difficulty, He is shaping us, strengthening us, and preparing us for something greater. He doesn’t let us walk alone but guides us with firmness and gentleness because He loves us too much to let us fall.
