Disciline in Love

Proverbs 3:11-12 (NKJV) -"My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor detest His correction;  For whom the LORD loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights."
Sometimes God chastens because we have rebelled and need to repent; other times He chastens us to keep us from sinning and to prepare us for His special blessing. No matter how much the experience hurts us, it will never harm us, because god always disciplines in love.
