If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If and when one endures the correcting, it being the most beneficial and freeing of things, for it is then that one knows they are being taught by the Spirit of Christ in them…. For no other thing in the Christian’s life speaks as much as when one endures the correcting… For it is in the correcting that the realness of one’s relationship with Jesus is exposed to oneself….

The object of chastening being; will one be inner directed, for in it the moment of growth has arrived…. For blessed is the one that falls back in faith on their death in Christ, for the denial of one’s self is that foundation that will see one grow from that correcting….. For this is where one’s foundation comes to be exposed, for if that foundation is the exchanging of one’s life for Christ’s life, for it being that foundation that will never fail, for it being as strong as Christ’s death, for it in fact is what it is, Christ’s death itself being the denial’s very strength…. For when the obedience to the corrections has the all of one’s heart, the all of one’s heart is God’s….

For this is the heart’s highest endeavor after God; the all of one’s heart hungering and thirsting after the instructions shown forth by the correcting…. For the blessing of the correcting is the blessings of life itself, for in the corrections is life, it is here, that Jesus is known to be the way, the truth, and the very expression of the Divine life itself….

For seeing that the inner directives of corrections are the rudder in one’s life that directs from the old to the new, for Christ’s life being a real new life coming to life in the soul….

Be blessed in that new life coming to life….

Amen.
It is hard to bear God's chastening @ the time of correction. It may bring tears upon tears on our pillow but our joy cometh in the
morning !

Hello and, yes, to be willing to be taught by the chastening, such a blessed heart to have and the joy it brings….

If I may add, and take this to God for a confirmation…

Chastening only is hard to bare when one still sees themselves as alive, when it is seen that one is indeed dead in Christ that seeing is the totality of the denial of self, for no dead man has anything that they can claim as their own, so all is given up to God in a patient trust in His love… It is then the heart craves for the correction because it sees that in the corrections one is being taught and grown into the new creation…

For life most certainly is in the correcting, and with life comes the One who is Life and there’s no greater blessing then an increase of Him….

Unto Him be our all, blessings, a fellow servant, Not me
