Bear patiently the rod for a season, and under the darkness still trust in God, for His love burns towards you. God loves His redeemed people with a love too deep for human imagination. He loves them with all His infinite heart!
God has not forgotten you, because He smites. His blows are no evidences of lack of love. You may fear that the Lord has passed you by but it is not so! He who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting His own redeemed children! He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature He ever made or the only saint He ever loved!
