Proverbs 3:11-12

Proverbs 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
 
This is a scripture we should all be familiar with. As babies grow they have to corrected on a regular basis maybe even with a paddling every now and then. As young Christians we need to be corrected some times and it may mean a preacher may apply a paddling with the word of God, which is usually refereed to him stepping on our toes. But eve as we get older in our faith we still need correction from time to time because as long as we on this earth we will make mistakes. Just think about it if God did not love us we would be doing no telling what, but because He does he corrects us when we need it. A problem in our society today is there is a lack correction in a lot homes and so we have more and more children growing up and getting in to trouble. Just like these children who are in trouble today we would be in the same shape if we did not have God correcting us with conviction when we do something wrong. This is one of things we should thank God for every day, that He loves us enough to correct us.
