Despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: for whom the LORD loveth he correcteth (Proverbs 3:11-12)
I can look at experiences in life that were bitter and painful where I couldn't see past those days when being chastised by God!! God teaches us not to take light of God's correction even when it feels so heavy!! Sometimes we need to see His hand in our trials to confess "everything happens for good" even when we do not understand it. God corrects us for many reasons like to sidestep from our worldly ambitions; to remove self-righteousness, pride and "holier than thou" attitudes. God chastens because he hasn't given upon us so let us also not grow weary of him! Remember, we are corrected, because Christ's purchased us by paying a BIG price on the cross! God wants to shape and mould us in the image of Christ. Remember He loves us unconditionally, He wants his bride to be "glorious, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish".
