Pilgrim Portions - 309

 
Jehovah chastens those He loves.... The word draws two conclusions from this truth.... It will not be without a cause in me; it will never be without love in God. Hence I am not to despise, for there is a cause in me which makes the holy God of love act so; I am not to faint, for it is His love which does it. It is correcting a son in whom his Father delights.
