Brokenness and Discipline

That old cliche that suggests that one''s grass might not appear to be as green as that of its neighbor''s has thwarted the God-intended spiritual growth and development of today''s believers (God''s plan). It is vital that we remind ourselves daily that we are not just a mere "Christian" but sons of God.

Many who identify as a Christian/born-again believer will at some point find themselves questioning their relationship with God, especially when they are bombarded with various trials and tribulations. Some believers are not as disciplined when it comes to maintaining their faith, due to their inability to rely solely on the Lord and His Word. Our perception of God will be challenged often during our life span.

Never allow your moments of brokenness to linger, and never lose sight of your purpose and God''s will for your life. Instead, allow each negative situation to create a new opportunity to initiate positive mindset. An undisciplined mindset will always interfere with God''s plan for our lives and will lead us into a valley of deception.

We must demonstrate the word by becoming disciplined disciples in a world full of broken individuals, deceived by their own self-designed fantasies. As believers, we must know that everything we need, the Father has already provided.

That which breaks you will eventually discipline you for the purpose of enlightening you.
