Here's a great scripture I was reading today:
"11 We do not enjoy being disciplined. It is painful at the time, but later, after we have learned from it, we have peace, because we start living in the right way."
That's taken from Hebrews 12:11. It's interesting to me, and at this time, because I it's this peace I have been in search of for the last year. My new years resolution for 2015 was to get my finances straight and get my life back on track. I wanted to be a better person and better father while trying to find peace in the life that I live. I have been pretty successful all around and this verse is affirmation of that. Not to long in the past I was the child that needed disciplined and I went thru some tough shit and it was painful at the time (and still for that matter) but I have learned from it and I have made the necessary about-face. It is just recently that I have noticed the peace that comes with right living once again. It feels good. There's some things that will never be the same in my life, there's some things that have been made better by my experiences and there are still some fences to mend but it feels good to be heading in the right direction. After all, isn't peace what we all want?
