Everything, whether the purity of gold, the tensile strength of steel, the strength of friendship, the power of blow-out preventers in underwater drilling equipment, is stronger and better for testing.
Faith is one of our greatest tools and strengths as we live our life in this world.
And so, one should not be sad that it is strengthened through testing.
I have 2 desires, one a strong one, which have not been granted for a long time.
And as I persevere in asking, faith will grow and be strengthened.
And the prize, the stronger faith, is worth the suffering as I wait for the answer to my prayers.
