God speaks to you as his children. Do not ever forget these words in the Bible that will make you strong:[a]

‘My son, when the Lord shows you what is right,
do not easily forget it.
Do not be upset when he punishes you.
The Lord does that to everyone that he loves.
He punishes everyone that he accepts as a son.’

When you have troubles in your life, you must be patient and strong. Remember that God is teaching you what is right because you are his children. There has never been any son whose father did not punish him.
