Ew, then you would be
just like the papists who believe if they administer suffering to themselves, they will spend less time in purgatory.
The LORD will correct the penitent sinner, dear. You may find yourself late for class because of bad weather, a shoelace that breaks, or perhaps impregnated against your will. If that is the case, rejoice for the LORD rebukes those He loves!
My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor detest His correction;
For whom the LORD loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights.
Proverbs 3:11-12
