TRUE JOY COMES OUT OF ANGUISH.

Does this include self flagellation?

No. I think that’s a spiritual/emotional/psychological sickness.

Which I’ve been very familiar with at times in my life.

Self-flagilation indicates a lack of belief in the sufficiency of Christ’s flogging, death, blood letting.

A kind of vain glory that my sins are so awful, I must add to Christ’s sacrifice in personally !!!!CONTROLLED!!!! ways in order for me to be OK.

. . . a lack of TRUSTING GOD and His Word and Christ and His ALL SUFFICIENCY.

imho.
