Tests are benefits from God, for which we should thank Him.
Grief and sorrow do not come to us by chance, they are sent to us by the Divine
Mercy for our own perfecting.
While a man is happy he may forget his God; but when grief
comes and sorrows overwhelm him, then will he remember his Father who is in
Heaven, and who is able to deliver him from his humiliations.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, October 27, 1911, Paris; ‘Paris Talks’)
