True Love And Discipline….

I can’t emphasize this enough, “without discipline, children will grow up thinking the universe is centered around them”. They will think the world owes them something. Yes, there are adults who have this attitude that we’re disciplined as a child, but they are the exception, not the rule. If parents love their children, they love them enough to teach them truth, and discipline them when they deserve it. We live in a time where entitlement, self-centeredness, and the lack of respect for authority rules the land. I would say it’s major cause is parents lack of love for their children. You have forgotten God, and lost the ability to truly love, when you fail to see the association between true love and discipline. As the joke goes, “what do you get from a pampered cow?” Spoiled milk. If you love your children, with the kind of love that the Bible describes, and only comes from God Himself, then you’ll muster up the courage to show your children your deep concern for them by disciplining then when the time calls for it. If God disciplines us, and we know how much He loves us, then we should never leave discipline out of our parenting bag of skills.

24 Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children.Those who love their children care enough to discipline them. Proverbs 13:24
