"Remember that we have no more faith at any time than we have in the hour of trial.
All that will not bear to be tested is mere carnal confidence.
Fair-weather faith is no faith."
~ C.H. Spurgeon
I Peter 1:6-7 "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ"
