All of God's children have room to grow spiritually

All of God's children have room to grow spiritually. And as a result, we all experience the disciplining hand of God. When we are disciplined we need to have a balanced perspective. We should not take it too lightly because God is serious about sin. But we shouldn't be overwhelmed by it either. God disciplines us because He loves us. He is doing it for our benefit. He is treating us as children that He has received. If we respond properly, His discipline turns us away from sin and matures our character.
