"When we ask the Creator for strength, we will receive tests and difficulties to make us strong. When we ask for wisdom, the Creator will give us many problems to solve. When we ask for great courage, the Creator will give us heroic obstacles to overcome.
If it were not for tests, how would the courageous be distinguished from the cowardly? Without tests, how would the precious diamond be separated from the worthless pebble? For we can not be a good leader of warriors unless we have been in front of the fiercest battles and received the deepest wounds." ~ Lala, Dekshi, and Brother Phil
