I've began to thank God for chastening and changing me to be who he wants me to..but things dont get right overnight so i have to continue trusting God and believing that my breakthrough will come that i can change to be more Christ-like.

" my sons,do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
For whom the LORD loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives."
[Hebrews 12: 5-6]

God loves us too much that he does not let us remain unchanged..he corrects us because he loves us just as much..

If you endure chastening(it is for discipline that you endure;God),God deals with you as with sons;for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
But if you are without chastening,of which all have become partakers,then you are illegitimate and not sons.
Furthermore,we have had human fathers who corrected us,and we paid them respect,Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
[Hebrews 12: 7-9]

its really for our profit that we are being corrected,who wants to commit the same mistakes again and again? we change for the better and better for the best .. but we have to know that its not always that God himself chastens us, he also uses leaders or elders to watch over and disciple us so that we are progressing..

Obey those who rule over you,
and be submissive,for they watch
out for your souls,as those who
must give account,Let them do
so with joy and not with grief,
for that would be unprofitable
for you.
[Hebrews 13:17 ]

thats why, we should learn to be submissive too..do not let pride inside us kill..humility is very important for everyone who wishes to grow,only can then the leader help you with joy that is.. profitable to you. its always true that people work and help better when they are happier =)
Just want to Thank God for placing leaders around me so that i can continue to grow.
Your grace is enough for me..
