>> (I know there are many others here too) that The Good Shepherd is faithful and true to smack us up side the head to get you back on the straight path.
I am one.
I will add as well the testing part. The smack up side the head is His discipline, the testing is Him forging us for stronger metal and a sharper sword. My experience has been the hard testing comes when the walk is closest.
What a Wonderful Savior to love us so!
