Proverbs 13:24 “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” A loving parent, a loving friend, a loving mentor will always lovingly teach, direct or train the person being led.  Without discipline success will not happen.  Control over one’s life is essential for order and is certainly necessary for leading a God pleasing life.  Discipline is key to morality, contentedness and happiness.   Have a great weekend.
