The Lord has provided for His sheep on earth in the latter days and it is testified of in this section where they are told why they were chastened and given direction to continue onward. I suppose that I am chastened for the same reasons sometimes, because I don't fully obey all the commandments and words from the Lord. I have times when I am worse than others, but with the loving chastising from God, I can redirect my energy to becoming a better follower of Christ. There is no comparison to the persecution the early saints endured and my silly chastising, but it has the same love from God and the same effect.
I am grateful for the faith that the early saints had to continue on building the kingdom of God, and grateful to the Lord for helping the work along. I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is guided by Christ because he cares for the people on earth. He has set up ways for us to return to Him after death, and I am blessed to know the truths about them while alive, and hopefully I will be able to serve Him more fully.
