Profitable Chastisements

Discipline toward
functional goodness…
That’s kindness
bereft of self-praise
done for God’s honour!

     Profitable*
     are chastisements
     leading to great
     transformation.

          Here am I…
          …yielding to
          corrections.

               Lord, now
               I stay…

                    Checked!

*Titus 3:8 …They which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
