Those whom Jehovah loves he disciplines.—Heb. 12:6.

 

 

As part of our training, our loving Father disciplines us when necessary. He does so in many ways. For instance, something we read in his Word or hear at our meetings may correct us. Or perhaps the help we need comes from the elders. Regardless of the form it takes, Jehovah’s discipline is always motivated by love. (Jer. 30:11) Jehovah supports us through trials. Just as a caring human father supports his children during difficult times, our heavenly Father sustains us through trials. He uses his holy spirit to protect us from spiritual harm. (Luke 11:13) Jehovah also protects us emotionally. For example, he gives us a marvelous hope. That hope for the future helps us to endure difficulties. Consider this: No matter what bad things happen to us, our loving Father will undo any injury we suffer. Whatever trials we are facing, these are only temporary, but the blessings Jehovah gives are everlasting.—2 Cor. 4:16-18. w20.02 5 ¶14-15

We have to expect and accept discipline as it means our life , Jer 30 :11 Jehovahs discipline is what will save us and it is always to the proper degree.

[Vinnie]

Discipline is a form of love. As earthly parents we may struggle to discipline our children properly or not at all when they needed it. Does this mean we don't love our children? Of course not. We want the best for our children. We just may be weak ourselves in this area.  So, don't beat yourself up too much if you feel you never did enough . Even in this area, Jehovah helps us by disciplining our children for us.

Another way we see Jehovah’s love is through his training & discipline. The more we study the Bible, the more familiar we become with God’s voice & he will direct us on the road to life.
