Pleasant Disciplines and Painless Lessons

Look at me 
Looking for 
Those easy fixes 
And short cuts to holiness 
"Where",  I ask, "are those pleasant disciplines" 
"Where is the painless lesson?" 

When your word forewarns us all. 
No discipline is pleasant, 
But painful. 
However, 
If learned from, 
Produces a harvest of righteousness, 
At the right time. 

And in your discipline, 
Though I can't see it through my tears, 
You are showing me, 
Your precious and costly love.
