Hebrews 12:5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you”
Just as He wants us to do more and more for Him each day, He wants it to be done in the right manner.
If we run off and try to do things our own way, we are going to fall short of His wishes and eventually come up against Him!
God is not going to stand idly by and watch us do things wrong over and over again; He is going to discipline us before too long; just as a parent disciplines their children, He will discipline us!
Don’t be put off by this – He is doing it because He loves us!
