Subject: [Christian Concepts] Correction Is Amazingly Hopeful 🦋

How are you doing, Friend?

Correction isn't possible without patience. That's because correction focuses on what is best for people who have errored. The opposite of correction is being lenient or harsh--it's the sweet spot between the two.

Leniency fails to provide enough (or any) correction. It's neglectful. It's not the same as mercy which omits any destruction but still involves whatever is best.

Harshness over-corrects. It's abusive. It's not the same as helpful consequences. Harshness harms the people who have errored. It weakens them, making them less likely to achieve positive results.
