Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children

Hebrew 12:3-13
My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he lovesand he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.
Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.
He did not give up when he faced the cross. Fix your eyes on him. THink what he went through - and don't be discouraged.
Accept suffering as a correction from a loving Father, evidence that he cares and wants the best for us. This discipline is like an athlete's training. The pain is short-term: the reward, lasting. So brace the trembling limbs and keep going.
Why?
Goe will discipline us as discipline his son, for these suffering is like discipline for our good.
It is like a father disciplines his son. So let us strengthen our feeble arms and weak knees. 
------------------
抵擋罪惡,還沒有到流血的地步。他們所受的與耶穌相比,算是很輕的,我們忍受罪人的頂撞,要學習耶穌在十字架上的受苦。因此就不會疲倦灰心。
主所愛的一定會受神的管教。管教不一定是我們犯錯,而是策勵我們努力向上,神透過一些特別的方式,例如苦難來鞭策我們。

------------------
How?
Trust in the Lord and he will lead us to the best life and gives us the best than this world can give.
