Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent.
As a parent, when my children did something wrong I disciplined them. God also disciplines whom he loves as I love mine. But in this verse he is talking to the Church in Laodicea. The church in Laodicea was lukewarm towards their worshipping to God. God intended to discipline that church unless it turned from it's ways.
God's discipline is not to punish, but to bring people back to him. He also does it to help you, and because he loves you.
