"When you are disciplined, it is not pleasant. The discipline of God is the only biblical reason to lose your joy. So when you get disciplined, you say, 'Boy, I’m so miserable; I might not be a Christian.' Maybe that proves you are a Christian. Have you ever known anyone who seems to get away with murder and it doesn’t bother them? Then you step out of line one little fraction and get disciplined fast? It’s because the Lord loves you. It is not pleasant. However, if you pay attention to it and respond to the discipline by confessing your sin, you are blessed and your joy returns."
