“Most of us have to learn the hard way in our lives..and pretty much it’s because for one we are stubborn..and for the other nowadays no one wants anyone to tell them what to do..because really none of us want the opinion or opinions of another..because for the most part we think we have it all figured out..Amen..we think we already know it all..right?!..and when someone gives us the truth and they don’t really sugar coat things..we get angry and we get upset and maybe just a little mad..right?!..cause for one truth hurts..and for another we don’t like to go through rough times or to actually go through the process of growing and learning..Amen..cause that’s the hard part..right?!..so as I said most of us have to learn the hard way in life..and that my friends is not an easy part to say the least..learning the hard way takes us down roads and pathways that really we never, ever want to be on..Amen..for the bible says to us and each of us at it’s best..to hear and to receive correction..Amen..it says..”My son, hear the instruction of thy Father, and forsake not the law of thy Mother..Proverbs 1:8..it goes on to saying..”A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke..Proverbs 13:1..further on down it says this..”If you stop listening to instruction, my child, you will turn your back on knowledge..Proverbs 19:27..Amen..it says that stern discipline awaits anyone who leaves the path; the one who hates correction will die..Proverbs 15:10..and I wonder to myself why do we choose the hard way..why are we so stubborn to not hear the words of correction and the words of wisdom from others in whom are only correcting or teaching us the right way..Amen..for it tells us that foolishness is bound in the heart of a child..but correction, will drive it out..Proverbs 22:15..Amen..for you see the Lord in whom He loves..He corrects..Proverbs 3:12/Hebrews 12:6-11..for always trust and always remember that no one sees themselves for who they truly are..so if there is correction..and if there is growth that needs to take place or happen..my heart and my prayer for each of us is simply that we accept the correction..and that we endure through the growing from that correction..all the while praying and trusting God with a beautiful outcome..Amen..so don’t disregard our Fathers love and correction for He is only giving it for our own good..Amen..because if we don’t correct things in our own lives that need attention then them things just continue on being the way that they’ve always been..change will never happen or ever take place..so know that to move forward you must grow and grow up in your walk and in your journey with the Lord..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
