38 Godly Correction - Suffering

As difficult as it can be, sometimes God is discipling us to refine us and make us more like Christ. It is so important to realize this; that the apostle explains it as a normal experience of believers. We must view it a loving correction or refinement. It is evidence of Divine love. Our Lord disciplines us as His children because like a loving father He wants us to stay away from practices that will bring harm to which will stop us from moving to maturity. Sometimes He must bring trauma into our lives to alter our path if He views it as leading to destruction.

Proverbs 3:11–12
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; Neither be weary of his correction: 12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth (KJV).
