Law & Order-Does The Punishment Fit The Crime?

[pixie_dust]

The main punishment that I receive is the "silent treatment", which is, IMO, the worst possible. To give me time to think about what I have done wrong, and how not to make the same mistake, I am not spoken to or acknowledged in any way for a period of time that He has determined.

There has never been a time in which I have intentionally disobeyed or failed to follow orders. I always feel so terrible when I disappoint Him, and there is never any pleasure in receiving a punishment (although I feel His are always just, and I am deserving of them).

that right there would absolutely kill me. i can see how the silent treatment would make for a very effective punishment (or part of a punishment), but it would drive me nuts. to have him ignore me for a certain period of time...the whole while my brain is in overload drumming up the worst possible scenarios and outcomes. ~shaking my head~ i would die. the being ignored probably isn't the part that would bother me so much... it's the knowing that i'd upset him so much that he felt the need to distance himself from me that would do me in.
