Lessons From a Hard Experience

Lessons From a Hard Experience

True tests of our faith are not found in those things we are well prepared to fight against; 

that we feel we are capable of beating; 

that we are confident we may overcome; 

or that make us feel we have been given a chance to excel, shine or show our mettle. 

True tests of our faith lie in those things that have the real power to overcome us; 

that cause us to feel the real threat of actual defeat; 

that make us question our ability to overcome or survive; 

that show us our weakness and our powerlessness; 

that stab at our greatest fears. 

True tests of faith may cause us to question ourselves, our fellow men, and even our God. 

True tests of faith are not proven by defeating others but by achieving triumph over our own selves. 

I pray I have proved myself well and truly against the tests of my faith.
