Correction From God

...Young man, do not resent it when God chastens and corrects you, for his punishment is proof of his love, just as a father punishes a son he delights in to make him better, so the Lord corrects you.
Proverbs 3:11-12

...How enviable the man whom God corrects! Oh, do not despise the chastening of the Lord when you sin. For though he wounds, he binds and heals again.
Job 5:17-18

...So he helps us by punishing us. This makes us follow his paths and gives us respite from our enemies while God traps them and destroys them. The Lord will not forsake his people, for they are his prize.
Psalm 94:12-14

...Yet, when we are judged and punished by the Lord, it is so that we will not be condemned with the rest of the world.
1 Corinthians 11:32

...That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our inner strength in the Lord is growing everyday. These troubles and sufferings of ours are, after all, quite small and won't last very long, Yet this short time of distress will result in God's richest blessing upon us forever and ever!
2 Corinthians 4:16-17

...Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years, doing the best for us that they really knew how, but God's correction is always right and for our best good, that we may share his holiness. Being punished isn't enjoyable while it is happening -- it hurts! But afterwards we can see the result, a quiet growth in grace and character.
Hebrews 12:10-11
