The Corrective Love of God - Proverbs 3: 11,12

Often we know what we want
but then again God knows better
His ways to us don't figure out
but we should learn from His letter

When God chastens us in His love
it's for our good He brings correction
learn to trust in the Lord your God
for you were always His selection

This is the story of God's love
never forget no matter His plans
God always, always wants the best
for you are tight in God's clan

God is your heavenly father
who does everything in love
always having that in His view
to have a relationship like a glove

God's children are His own possession
for the Lord counts them as His delight
nothing can take away the love of God
it lifts you up into your heavenly flight

(My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline
    or be weary of his reproof,
for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
    as a father the son in whom he delights.)
Proverbs 3: 11,12 (ESV)

Lisa Ricci May 27, 2023 at 5:31 AM Good Morning Gordon. Hi. Hi believe in your words and have believed in God from day one. I have never lost faith and have always believed his way is the way and what he wants for us he will deliver his wishes in his time and at the right time. It was an honor turning to your page and words. Truly. Blessings always (smile) Gordon Mcconnell May 27, 2023 at 5:39 AM Hi Lisa, Glad you enjoyed this piece also for your word of testimony of God's faithful love to you. Have a blessed weekend, Gordon

Bj Legros Kelley May 24, 2023 at 1:58 PM This is a promise, just as much as any other promise He gives. Chastening is never fun, but He knows why. He is our loving Hevenly Father, and I wonder if someday He'll tell us why, but I think often, when under chastening, His kids know why. There are natural consequences as well as things that happen that may need to get our attention. It's no fun to be under His discipline, but this verse is precious, it helps us to see why, He loves His children!
