Finding God’s Love Through His Discipline

Summary:

Everything that God does is based in His love, though we may not understand it at first

His discipline is because He loves us and wants a close relationship with each of us.

Show Notes:

• The Lord does not condemn anyone while going through discipline

• We know what it is to live without love, we are learning what love really is

• The Prodigal son learned honestly how his father loved him.
