God never punishes his children in the sense of avenging justice. He chastens as a father does his child, but he never punishes his redeemed as a judge does a criminal. It is unjust to exact punishment from redeemed souls since Christ has been punished in their place. How shall the Lord punish twice for one offense?
Charles Spurgeon

Our merciful Father has no pleasure in the sufferings of His children He chastens them in love He never inflicts a stroke He could safely spare He inflicts it to purify as well as to punish, to caution as well as to cure, to improve as well as to chastise.
Hannah More
