Discipline Never Should Hurt This Much

deception involves gaining trust through the experience of suffering. if you had walked an entire miracle mile without recognizing the sacrifices you made along the way, it would have been much harder to continue that distance without support. however, the Lord has given us the ability to understand our pain and set it aside before anyone else is affected, allowing us to avoid being disciplined by our own weaknesses.

trickery: sometimes one has to deceive another so that they can continue on the miracle mile.
