Fix Me Lord

Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. Job 5:17

There often isn't a positive outlook from a person receiving correction. It rarely feels good but its purpose, if done properly, can produce much fruit. I don't believe anyone who receives correction says on the onset, "wow, I really needed this," but generally takes defense because they feel offended.
The offense could be a result of the way the correction was done or presented.

In our text we read that the one who God corrects is blessed and they should not despise His discipline. Why do you believe this to be so? The answer is simple...love. Everything God does for His children is done out of love. When correction is done out of love, it's easier to receive. When correction is done from a place of love, it won't be despised, but welcomed and eventually applied so that change can occur in that person's life. Nothing but good comes out of a life that has been corrected by God. That life my brothers and sisters, is a life that's blessed!

Remember, love covers a multitude of sin (wrongdoing) and that love is Christ Jesus. Will you allow the Lord to correct that which is wrong in you today? I will!
