Bursting Quote by Aiden Wilson Tozer

“He (God) may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.” quote by Aiden Wilson Tozer
