God embraces us with both arms.
With the left He humbles and corrects us; with the right He lifts us up and consoles us with the assurance of being loved by Him.
If you want to be fully embraced by the Lord, you have to accept both arms: the one that allows suffering for the sake of purification and the one that brings the joy of union.
When you feel physical pain or when psychological struggles are persecuting you, you should think that God is hugging you extra tightly. Trials are an expression of His Love, not of rejection.
