I don't know about you, but it seems that the tests we're going through are getting harder and harder. Do you remember when you took tests in high school? At the time they may have seemed hard. But imagine if you had to take an elementary school test when you were in high school. You'd probably think---oh this is so simple.
So if it seems that the testing of your faith is more intense, it simply means that you're graduating to new levels of faith. Our faith is being tested, and as we pass each "faith" test, we're finding different means of being tested. I suppose in a few years, we'll look back and think to ourselves---wow that was a hard test, but now it doesn't look so difficult!
If you're going through a tough time right now...
