For the Lord will not reject forever, For if
He causes grief, Then He will have compassion According
to His abundant lovingkindness.
For He does not afflict willingly Or
grieve the sons of men.
Lamentations
3:31-33 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
God does
discipline mankind. We mess up, we rebel, so He corrects us like a loving
Father. The world in general rebels against God and He passes judgment like a
just Judge. Life is not always easy, but we need to remember that the bad does
not last forever. He will allow us to suffer, but He will also restore us
abundantly. It is also important to remember that He does not discipline or
punish because He enjoys it. He’s not sitting in heaven gleefully squashing
ants. It grieves Him possibly more than it grieves us. He feels our pain, but
He allows it for our benefit. We may never know why we suffer, but we don’t
need to. The important thing in all of it is to submit to God, surrender our
lives to Him and trust Him. He will bring us through if we will allow Him to
have our hearts and follow Him.
