Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.I sometimes wonder what's going on with many of us, who seem to be living average lives without much trouble. If God disciplines those He loves, does that mean that He doesn't love us? Or does it mean that we're on the right path after all, and therefore don't need discipline?
I have to remind myself that the first term used is to reprove. He is trying to get our attention, to steer us back onto the right path where we've strayed. He's trying to give us a nudge back, and we should listen, or He will have to bring the stronger measure of discipline to bear to push us back to Him.
