His Princess Every Day
My Daughter,
  
  Many   times your ways may appear to be better than Mine, at least in your own   mind. What I ask may at times feel uncomfortable or sacrificial, but I   would rather you be in discomfort than experience the destruction of   living your own way. I’m asking you to trust Me, even when it’s hard to   do what I ask of you. When you obey, honor, and respect Me as your   heavenly Father, I will give you so much more than what you willingly   give up for Me. In the end, you will stay strong in your faith, and your   heart will remain at peace regardless of any trials this life brings.   My ways are not your ways, My beloved. They are higher and they are   greater. My rules are effective, but they are not easy. It is in your   righteous discomfort that you will remain safe and secure under My wing.
  
  Love, 
  Your God of comfort 
  
  Pride goes before destruction, 
  and haughtiness before a fall. - Proverbs 16:18
  
  Treasure of Truth
  
  Discomfort is far better than destruction.
