It was our grief He bore!

Tears came to Master's eyes.
Jn 11:35

A man of sorrows,
Acquainted with bitterest grief.
Is.53: 3,4

It was our grief He bore,
Our sorrows that weighed him down.
Heb. 12:6

When He punishes you,
It proves that He loves you.
When He whips you,
It proves you are really His child!

Being punished isn't enjoyable
While it is happening:
It hurts!!!

But afterwards we can see the result,
A quiet growth in grace and character.

So take a new grip with your tired hands,
Stand firm on your shaky legs
And make out a straight, smooth path for your feet.
Heb. 12: 11 to 13
