Proverbs 3:11-12
My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.
God sees you as His child, and He treats you as such. Raising a child isn’t just about providing for their needs, and it isn’t always about making them happy either. Sometimes God allows things to happen that you don’t enjoy, or He may close doors in life that you wanted to walk through. But He does this because He loves you: like a dad keeping his son or daughter from wandering into the street, He very well could be protecting you from things you don’t see coming. The child might not understand why they can’t play on the pavement, but the Father does, and He reproves and disciplines His child because He delights in you.
