““Do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of his reproof.” Accept it without getting upset. Do not be angry with God, because he is not angry with you. Do not say he is being hard on you. Let humility rise up and say, “It is well, oh Lord. You are right in disciplining me because I have sinned. You are righteous in striking me because I need your blows to bring me closer to you. If you leave me uncorrected and undisciplined, I, poor wanderer that I am, would wander to the sea of death, and sink into the pit of eternal hell.””
