Quiet Time Sharing

Hebrews 12 : 1-13

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,

let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles,

and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,

who for the joy set before him endured the cross,

scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men,

so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:

"My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,

and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,

because the Lord disciplines those he loves,

and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons.

For what son is not disciplined by his father?

If you are not disciplined(and everyone undergoes discipline),

then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.

Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it.

How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!

Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best;

but God discipline us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.

Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace

for those who have been trained it.

Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.

"Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled,

but rather healed.

I have a great lesson to learn throughout this 2 years.. Even it was a deep painful lesson after the broken relationship. God is really a great Father of all nation. He care. And He not only care, also mean it, and He will make sure His children grow like Him. He give me a painful training ground. I got to admit, it was so pain until I wanted to give up. Until I do all kind of funny stupid things. However, no matter what happen, He just want me to relay on Him more. To learn to depend on Him more. To learn to know who He really is.

I'm grateful for everything that He did to me even all the pain, struggle, tears, suffering in trial, and so on.. Because it is a training ground from a lovely Father give to His children, because He love me. Because He choose to love me.
