Now all discipline seems painful at the moment—not joyful. But later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11, TLV

Hmm. Now, isn’t that the truth. Discipline seems painful, not joyful — at least at the moment. The key is waiting for that fruit, isn’t it. The moment when we learn the lesson. Or when we train our minds and bodies enough that it is second nature.

Do you have a recent peaceful fruit of righteousness that you can share? One that had a painful discipline? But you now reap the joyful harvest?
