"God has not been trying an experiment on my faith or love in order to find out their quality. he knew it already. it was i who didn't. in this trial he makes us occupy the dock, the witness box, and the bench all at once. he always knew that my temple was a house of cards. his only way of making me realize the fact was to knock it down. "

God doesn't need to send trials my way for his sake, he does it for my sake. he does it so i can see my flaws as he sees them. he does this not to break my will or destroy me, but to mold me into a vessel "fit for the master's use." he knocks down my "house of cards" because he loves me. he builds again.
