2.6-
Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
John Wooden

At times we need to experience a hard landing instead of  soft landing.

You can have pilots who do things that are against are the rules of flying, but they keep on doing it as long as there are not consequences that went with their choice.

If the consequences are left with their choice and the hard landing is there, they learn the reason for that flying rule and they learn to obey the rule by allowing the consequences to teach them.

We as parents or friends or bosses sometimes want to shelter them from the consequences so they keep doing it.

If we keep doing what we have always been doing we will get what we have always got.

John 5.6
A man was there who had been [d]ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He *said to him, “Do you wish to get well?”

John 12.
20 Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast; 21 these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip *came and *told Andrew; Andrew and Philip *came and *told Jesus. 23 And Jesus *answered them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He who loves his [h]life loses it, and he who hates his [i]life in this world will keep it to life eternal. 26 If anyone [j]serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone [k]serves Me, the Father will honor him.

Matthew 21.
44 And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”

Hebrews 12.
It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

There is a temptation to hurt others when we get hurt.  If we are loved by God--He will set up circumstances for a hard landing.  It is a discipline allowed by God for us His children because He loves us.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
