God does not afflict willingly, nor grieve us for nothing, but he does so out of love and affection. He knows that if he leaves us unchastised, we will bring upon ourselves misery 10,000 times greater than we will suffer by his slight rebukes and the gentle blows of his hand.

Even though his brow may be ruffled, there is no anger in him toward you. Even though his eye may have closed upon you, he does not hate you. He still loves you.
