When your Father smites you!
From Spurgeon's, "None But Jesus"
Even when your Father smites you and leaves
a welt
at every stroke, and brings the blood at every blow,
there is not a particle of condemnation in any one stroke.
Not in his anger, but in his dear covenant love he smites you.
There is as unmixed and unalloyed affection in every
love-stroke of chastisement from your Father's hand,
as there is in the kisses of Jesus Christ's lips.
