Proverbs 13: Parental Discipline

Some of you think your parents hate you when they punish you. You may feel like they are being hard or mean.

But they do not hate you. They are trying to raise you rightly, and they discipline you because they love you.

Listen to verse 24: “Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.”

Discipline causes you to become a different person. It helps you mature, and to learn from your past mistakes so you live life better.

Thank your parents for the discipline they have given you, and try to learn from each instance what you did wrong so that you can do better in the future.

I like to think of discipline as a form of discipleship :)
