As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Revelation 3:19

If you know where to get a good picture of Gill (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
It is the Lord, who doth not grieve,
Or needlessly reprove;
Savior, I thankfully receive
The tokens of Thy love:
The tokens of Thy love I prize,
By answering Thine intent,
By listening to Thy rod that cries,
Be zealous, and repent.
