BUT those who listen to correction gain understanding (Proverbs 15:32)

Those who refuse discipline despise themselves…
BUT

Those who listen to correction gain understanding.
Proverbs 15:32  CEB
To often when we think about children.
BUT we are children of God and He is reminding us of this. Are you listening today?

BUT when his brothers saw (Genesis 37:4)

BUT...

when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.

Genesis 37:4

This is for all the parents out there and maybe even teachers. Be careful with having "favorites" your blessings don't balance out the hatred that comes from others. (by the way I am God's favorite JK) :) 

BUT... so the world may know (John 14:31)

But… so that the world may know
that I love the Father, and just as the Father has commanded me, thus I am doing.
Get up, let us go from here!

John 14:31

On this father’s day I can’t think of a better verse. This is Jesus speaking His desire is to go see His Father. What a great example and a way to show the world that you love the Father. Go to Him today. As you spend time with your earthly father I pray you will make time for your heavenly Father as well.
