GOD'S WOODSHED

“For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”

Hebrews 12:6
King James Version

Years ago when I worked in the nursing homes, I heard two of the residents say when they were children and did something wrong, their parents would talke them out to the woodshed and spank them.

If you have ever been out to God's woodshed as I have, you know it hurts but the thing that hurt me the most was I hurt Jesus and broke His heart. Our precious Saviour tells us in the Bible that we are to love one another as He loves us.

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." Can we honestly say that we always love others unconditionally? I can't. I get upset when someone hurts me and sometimes yell at the person and it hurts Jesus and breaks His heart.

May God help us to love one another as Jesus has commanded us to love so we won't hurt Jesus and break His heart. I love You, dear Jesus and I look forward to being in Heaven with You for all eternity.
