Chastening, by: Frances J. Roberts

No chastening is pleasant, but you need it for your growth in the graces of the Spirit. Move ahead in confidence in spite of every obstacle.

Mine eye is upon you.

Hebrews 5:8; Even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.

Hebrews 12:5-6 And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children? He said, 'My child, don't make light of the LORD's discipline, and don't give up when He corrects you. For the LORD disciplines those He loves, and He punishes each one He accepts as His child.'
