God's pruning is like therapy + Free Beat

Every beat I make has a message behind it; something inspired by the Holy Spirit and I am glad that many ministers stick to this message from the title (especially the all too awesome rappers that drop some bars on my youtube videos). This is no different.

The beat is called "Therapy"... but first, a short exhortation.

Pruning is like therapy. God's pruning (discipline) is like therapy to us His children, to get us out of our old ways. Some sort of spiritual (and mental, if needed) correction. Revelations 3:19. Also, Hebrews 12:6 address this perfectly.

Here's a snippet of a commentary (Barnes' Notes on the Bible) on the Hebrews 12 verse:

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth - This is also a quotation from Proverbs 3. It means that it is a universal rule that God sends trials on those whom he truly loves. It does not, of course, mean that he sends chastisement which is not deserved; or that he sends it "for the mere purpose" of inflicting pain. That cannot be. But it means that by his chastisements he shows that he has a paternal care for us. He does not treat us with neglect and unconcern, as a father often does his illegitimate child. The very fact that he corrects us shows that he has toward us a father's feelings, and exercises toward us a paternal care. If he did not, he would let us go on without any attention, and leave us to pursue a course of sin that would involve us in ruin.

And... finally, the free beat: Therapy. Terms of use: Must glorify God, and you must be a follower of Christ. Grace and peace to you.
