All I have learned through trial and error is to stay alert and aware, especially God smiling at our silliness.
- Brennan Manning
I was there when God was put on trial....At the end of the trial, they used the word chayav, rather than 'guilty'. It means 'He owes us something'. Then we went to pray.
- Elie Wiesel
God discovers the martyr and confessor without the trial of flames and tortures, and will hereafter entitle many to the reward of actions which they had never the opportunity of performing.
- Joseph Addison
God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.
