For the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He punishes each one He accepts as His child. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening. It’s painful. But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. Hebrews 12:6, 11 NLT

The Holy Spirit is determined that Believers will have the realization of Jesus Christ in every area of our lives, and He will bring us back to the same point over and over again until we do. A spiritually vigorous saint never believes that his circumstances simply happen at random, nor does he ever think of his life as being divided into the secular and the sacred. He sees every situation as an opportunity ordained by God to know Him more deeply through a growing intimacy with Jesus Christ. Adapted, My Utmost For His Highest, Oswald Chambers
