God discipline those He loves.

For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.” Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Hebrews 12:6‭, ‬9‭-‬10 NKJV
