 This was my perspective of God when I was 16. Every time I do something wrong, God will mess something up in my life to teach me a lesson. God is a loving Father and He may bring about discipline, but He does it out of love. Blessed is the one you discipline, O Lord, the one you teach from your law. You grant them relief from days of trouble till a pit is dug for the wicked. For the Lord will not reject His people, He will not forsake His inheritance. God disciplining us as believers is actually a relief because He's correcting our path. But you shouldn't be looking over your shoulder or waiting for the bottom to drop out. No, God doesn't act like that. Jesus has taken God's wrath on Himself. Now God's love for us is a gift. God will not forsake His inheritance. You are His inheritance. You are His child, and nothing can change that.
