This hurts me more than it does you...

Our Daily Bread
I viewed scenes in TV shows, movies and my own life where the parent says to the child as they are disciplining him: "this hurts me more than it will you".  From what I understand, a loving parent never wants to hurt a child.  Discipline can hurt (and I am not talking about corporal punishment here).  Even "grounding" a child or putting your child in "timeout" can be hurtful and draw tears!

Think of those feelings, if you are a parent, and then multiply them by a gazillion!  Maybe lots of gazillions!  ha!  That is how much God loves his children.  Like a loving parent, he disciplines us when we stray.  He may put us in "timeout" (that seems to be my case).  He may "ground" you for a while.  Or even worse, he may let you feel the full weight of your sin and its consequences.  No matter what you situation or what you experienced from your parents, always know that God loves you and wants the best for you!  That is not always easy to see and understand!

Lord, thank you for being a loving parent to your children.  Help us to mature and understand your ways!
