No one likes discipline, which is actually Biblical! Hebrews 12:11 tells us, “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” As a gardener tends and prunes and trains a plant to maximize growth, God does the same with our souls until we look more and more like Jesus…if we are willing to submit to His tender care. And He graciously allows us to partner with Him through activities that have sometimes been called Spiritual Disciplines. This is the introduction to a series on this topic.
