Punishment/Discipleship

Stop and think about letting the punishment fit the crime today.  Another thing that stood out to me this weekned.  When we repent God does not say okay after you sit in your bedroom for an hour or sit in time out.  He does not because that would be looking away from us.  He does not banish us from his presence.  Our children don't need to be away from us.  Some parents and I myself included have said but I need time away from him.  That is a lie!  We need to repent and be restored.  They need to feel close to us not away. 

So today when you are discipling your child and you want to send them to bed early, rethink that so they are still with you.  Don't banish them from your prescence.
