" The Lord has disciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death. "
Psalm 118:18
No discipline is enjoyable at the moment, but the Lord's discipline has a redemptive purpose. God chastens those He loves. He cannot permit us to remain as we are. So when we stray from His ways, the Lord disciplines His own.
God's discipline is not impatient but performed with wisdom, kindness, and love. However, it can be severe because of the hardness of our hearts. He is patient and longs to see us renewed.
If we are experiencing God's correction, humble yourself beneath His mighty hand. The Lord will have mercy on you and will lift you up.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
