All the things that happened to me lately. Makes me wonder whether God is punishing me for being disobedient. Just like a parent to a child, when they disobey, we will punish them so that they won’t repeat the same so that they will grow up to be a better person.

After reading one article on the same title, Is God Punishing Me? God is not punishing me; He is disciplining me. Well, it is just a better term to use.

According to the article, punishment is giving us what we deserve. That’s God’s job. And if they trust in Jesus, all our punishment was taken care of on the cross.

We should see it as “discipline” or “correction”.

I see it this way; God is discipling me because He cares for me. He notices me. He loves me.

I need a hug from you Lord to assure me that everything will be alright.
