10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

Bring on the discipline if that is what it takes to "share in His holiness" and produce "peaceful fruit of righteousness". I thank God for the learning, growing and changing He has produced in my life. We must be soft to His will through every situation. He is sovereign and uses life's situations to train, discipline and mold us. We are much better off rolling with His teaching than working so diligently to do what we want, and failing. God has only our best interest in mind and more importantly does all things for His own glory!
