Discipline Is Love

VIDEO

Caleb, why aren’t you playing outside?

Dad said I’m punished.

Oh, I see. You know Dad loves you, even when he disciplines you.

Oh.

Hey, do you remember when we planted the fruit tree?

Uh-huh.

It grew fast. But then—

It fell over.

What did Dad do?

He helped it.

Right! Did the straps hurt the tree?

No. They helped it grow straight.

Yes! Jehovah and Dad correct you sometimes too, like the tree. Do you remember what the Bible says? ‘Jehovah disciplines . . . ’

Uh, ‘Jehovah disciplines the ones he loves.’

Whoa!

Oh, Caleb.

I love you, Dad. If discipline is love, you must love me a whole lot!

Yes, Caleb. Yes, I do.
