What's in our hearts?
Capacities for love, mercy, anger, envy and pride can lie dormant until awakened by circumstances. Strength and weaknesses of heart are found not when everything is going our way but when flames of suffering and temptation test the mettle of our character. As gold and silver are refined by fire, and as coal needs time and pressure to become a diamond, the human heart is revealed and developed in the presence of pain and suffering.
Romans 5:3 - 5
1 Peter 1:6 - 8
Job 42:1 - 17
