Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. For He inflicts pain and gives relief; He wounds, and He hands also heal. Job 5:17-18
Most of us are more concerned with being happy in the short run, than in the long run. God knows that in order for us to end up happy, there needs to be some unpleasant reproving, rebuking, and exhorting along the way. Unfortunately, in order to make it to the "promised land," we will need to spend some time in the valleys. Let's thank God that although He must wound, He always heals. Let's learn to rejoice in His reproving.
