Living Life Disciplined …

Hebrews 12:11 ~ 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 by it.?

Abba Father good morning ~ Living as a disciple of Our Lord Christ Jesus has utmost responsibility of diligently walking alongside another within encouraging discipline. It needs to be direct, appropriate, and a teaching moment where unconditional love is sustaining within the mist of confrontation. How we handle these delicate moments of time will embed seeds of growth, or seeds of resentment. Are we disciplining out of our own-pain? Our own-motive? Our own-whatever? Are we lashing back out-of-control? Are we being forceful because we can? Do we react to others differently just because they are different? Have you lashed out just because? Everyone has weak moments, failures, anger, resentment, fears of uncertainty. Real life happens. Do our actions reflect consistently within our beliefs? Are we openly honest with expectations? Or is everyday frustration of living among the ways of this world affecting our behavior? There is a difference between loving-discipline and controlling-power. Loving discipline is a learning-moment; a time where appropriate punishment is accomplished with compassion-forgiveness. Controlling power is lashing out with festering bitterness instilling hopelessness into a broken-spirit. Discipline builds on heavenly-love. Control builds on worldly-brokenness. Our utmost responsibility as a disciple of Our Lord Christ Jesus is to instill living hopefulness not hopelessness. To build up, not destroy. To teach, not humiliate. To create reflection, not fear. Something to ponder. What is our motive within teachable moments? What expressions radiate from deep within our heart, our mind, our soul? Is there love or rage within our-words, our-touch, our-expressions? What is the other person intimately feeling: intimidation or compassion? Within the very inner-core of our thriving life lives the desire to live life at its best. The Lord Our God purposefully created, uniquely designed, intimately put in motion this day to fulfill anointed promises showering our life with living affirmation, not demoralizing intimidation. Undeniable faithfulness; not frightening-fears. Strengthening our everyday life with living encouragement; not controlling power. Instilling everlasting living hope within every moment: not subduing-hopelessness. Faithfully disciplining sinfulness with heavenly compassion filled with agape love not destructive-anger or bitter-rage. Having compassionate forgiveness; not condemning-brokenness. The valleys within this life are The Lord Our God’s free-gifts to our life to make us intimately-stronger, not fatiguing-weaker. It’s within everyday hardships, struggles, trials, temptations, uncertainties of this everyday life that builds a foundation of hopefulness or hopelessness. The living bible teaches about the ways of this world and the ways of The Lord Our God. Reading the bible will take-effort, intentional-commitment, personal-dedication. This book of engageable truthfulness filled with anointed promises from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 is intimately teaching, encouraging, strengthening our sinful life within living hope, agape love, sacrificial forgiveness. This book of sustaining everlasting life is heavenly truthfulness; Godliness worthy of reading, holding, embracing, engaging daily. It will take-effort, utmost-perseverance, and intimae-desire from deeply within our heart, our mind, our soul; our very inner-core of thriving life to draw intimately closer within every moment to The Lord Our God. It’s critical; one must live alert. The living bible from cover to cover is abundantly filled with engageable truthfulness teaching a life of heavenly discipline. A life of cleansing, redeeming, restorational intimate promises within Our Living God, Our Lord Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit. Intimate engageable promises to never leave us, never forsake us, never abandon us vibrantly-alive and purposefully-living within every moment. Willingly engaging the discipline within this book of life. Our life will engage a life of The Lord Our God’s powerful life-changing undeserved grace. A life where living hope overcomes all hopelessness. Agape love embraces all rejection. Sacrificial forgiveness releases all sinfulness. Heavenly faithfulness overpowering all uncertainties of life within the engageable anointed, sustainable, protected promise of everlasting life in heaven. We have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. What are we willingly engaging within life. Heavenly discipline or worldly brokenness. One must live alert. Actively living believing, accepting, trusting, following deeply within our heart, our mind, our soul; our very inner-core of thriving life is the difference between deceitfulness of the ways of this world or the life-changing compassionate discipline within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. Remember ~ live alert. Thoughts become actions. Actions become a way of life. Our life reflects what we actively believe. Where we go. Who we follow. How we engage all of life. Reflect if you must with utmost urgency. This life counts. Every moment. 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 by it.?
