Not everyone likes discipline but we all need it

Morning: Psalm 69:1-23; Genesis 24:1-27; Hebrews 12:3-11

Evening: Psalm 73; John 7:1-13

Disciples are those who live under discipline; they guide one another in living well. We do not always respond kindly to discipline. That requires humility and the willingness to accept correction. We may tend to avoid discipline. But the Letter to the Hebrews affirms: As a child needs discipline for a while from parents, so we all need discipline for the rest of our lives within an accepted sphere of accountability. A community that lives for Love is a good place to belong and to hold one another accountable. This is the kind of community Jesus encourages us to fashion.
