When a company goes bankrupt, you as a company have absolutely no say whatsoever as to what happens.
Chastisement is designed for our good, to promote our highest interests. Look beyond the rod to the All-wise hand that wields it!

Satan is ever seeking to inject that poison into our hearts to distrust God's goodness - especially in connection with his commandments. That is what really lies behind all evil, lusting and disobedience. A discontent with our position and portion, a craving from something which God has wisely held from us.

Allow nothing to make you question the Father's love for his child.
