Correction is not always easy to deal with, especially when
you're still learning where all the boundaries are. No
correction, on the other hand, is great for the moment, but will
only cause more chaos and damage later, hindering proper
development as one continues to grow.
Life in our Father's House is no different. He has established
the boundaries for all His children, not just for those in
leadership, and He will not alter them. With love, He
disciplines in His own way. At times it may seem difficult and
overwhelming, but it will work out for the best. God knows the
eternal consequences if our shortcomings and failures are not
properly dealt with and corrected. It’s not His will that any soul
should perish without eternal life in Christ.

Scriptures to Reference:
- Job 5 verses 17-18
- 17. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore
despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18. For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his
hands make whole.
- Proverbs 3 verses 11-12
- 11. My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be
weary of his correction:
12. For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the
son in whom he delighteth.
- Hebrews 12 verses 9 and 11
- 9. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected
us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in
subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
11. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but
grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
- 2 Peter 3 verse 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish but that all should come to
repentance.
