(Hebrews 12:6) It is for our comfort to remember that (God) never punishes one of His children because His patience is exhausted, for that can never be, but always because the chastisement is needed and the correction is worthwhile … He is like a father, but only the very best father is an illustration of Him.
(Fred Mitchell)
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and you will call him Immanuel."
Isaiah 7: 14
