I've just coined the phrase, "Jonah Moment." A Jonah moment is when you know you are trying to run from God, but he won't let you. Call it discipline, call it pursuing you, call it whatever, God loves us more than just letting us run away without his pursuing us. Hebrews 12:6, "For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives." It is not exactly a pleasurable thing to be disciplined, but boy am I so grateful for it!!! Otherwise, I'd be so lost! I don't know about you, but I didn't exactly thank my parents in the middle of my being disciplined. It was more of a feeling of terror and pain. But...I thank them now.
Thank you God for loving me through your discipline! Even when I can't see the results right away.
