How big is your Jesus? What is He like? I have heard people say that THEIR Jesus would never correct them because they have gone through so much.Excuse me... Jesus was a man (HUMAN!) just as we are. He came here to go through terrible things and show us that there is an answer to our difficulties in him.
Jesus never excuses us from sin. He shows us the way to overcome. If YOUR Jesus is not ever correcting you, then my dear person, you know the wrong one.
Please do not misunderstand. Jesus is never cruel, mean, mouthy, or surly. He knows how to convict with His Word (the Bible), with His eye as He watches you, with His Holy Spirit as he leads you. In order to receive his LOVING correction... that is right, I said LOVING, you must get to know Him. Read His Word. Pray. Sit in His presence.
Praise God for His correction that keeps us safe and close to his protection. I hope that you have a big Jesus. He wants to be big in your life. Let Him today!

Right on! We are children of God and, just like any little child, we need correction so we can learn the important things of life which include discipline, compassion, understanding. A child left uncorrected usually becomes self-centered and demanding. Because God loves us, he does not want us to be this way. How can we be a light for Him in this condition. Praise God for His correction every time we need it.
Hi Renee! Thanks for your comment. My heart aches for those who think Jesus is a big Santa Claus who lets them do anything they want. They are missing out on real love! Blessings to you! Karen
