Correction Is Care

"Whom the Lord loves He corrects."
Proverbs 3:12

Reflection

When someone corrects you, it is not because they dislike you. It is the opposite! God corrects those He loves, so we do not get hurt.

Prayer

God, help me receive correction without getting angry. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. How do you feel when someone corrects you?
  2. Why does God correct those He loves?
  3. Can correction protect us?

5-minute activity

Play a game where the child walks blindfolded and the grown-up gives directions like "stop" or "turn left" to avoid obstacles. Talk about how correction keeps us safe. Read Proverbs 3:11-12.
