Just can't stop thinking

I've had so many thoughts running through my head ever since I've started reading my bible again...(go figure)

I've been so independant for so long that I've forgotten that even faith can not grow if we don't continously feed it.

Of course most of this has started because of counseling. I have homework assignments and part of my homework is to read my bible. I started in Proverbs 15 at the request of my counselor and then I write a couple of significant thoughts that come to mind. This has really been enriching my life already.

Chapter 15 of Proverbs had a lot of verses that pertained to discipline, of course those specific verses raised my eyebrows since I am going through some spiritual discipline right now. Some points that really jumped out at me were that in every verse that dealt with discipline refered to it as being good.

I, on the other hand, have had a warped view of discipline. I've often thought to myself.."What good has discipline ever done me." And this has to do with things from my past, which I don't need to dive into details about, but because of these things I have wanted nothing to do with discipline. But God has always intended for disciplin to be good.

Hebrews 12:11 says "Discipline, at the time, does not seem pleasent, but painful. Later though it produces a righteousness and peace for those who obtain it."

God has always intended for discipline to be good.
