Proverbs My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
Nor detest His correction;
For whom the LORD loves He corrects,
Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
The Word “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
I found this short video a real uplifting story, and one that emphasizes the authority and providence of God upon our lives. He really does have our best interests at heart, and is fully willing and able to take care of us in ways we shall never know this side of eternity.
