Endure suffering as discipline:
God is dealing with you as sons.
Hebrews 12:7
I have tasted suffering
Meted out, blow by blow,
Throngs of pains and pangs
And I know that I know
I am stronger for it.
I grew closer to Him
In what suffering I endured,
Growing inside His care,
Battered, yet secure
In His sufficiency.
He entrusted me with something
Beyond my scope
I need Him to sustain
Beyond silence or trope
In power and truth.
Falling fearful, I groveled,
I sniveled, I winced
Concerned the difficulty
Was merely recompense
For zigging if I should zag.
I forgot some key truths:
Discipline isn’t merely correction,
Punishment, or retribution-
It’s also difficult, loving direction
Equipping for the future.
And most importantly I forgot,
More than what I do,
More than what I accomplish, or fail,
More than what I put Him through-
Jesus loves me
