Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline #— #which all receive #— #then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Furthermore, we had human fathers discipline us, and we respected them. Shouldn’t we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but he does it for our benefit, so that we can share his holiness. No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

"Blessed are those who mourn..." (Matthew 5:4, NIV) How is that supposed to work? Throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to have joy in all circumstances. Could there be a link between joy and mourning?
We start living when we find our lives in HIM who is eternal life. The LORD who died so we could have abundant life. In three days, we will talk about relishing the abundant life that CHRIST granted us by grace.
