Bearing Trials

It is more of a mercy to be able to bear a trial than to get rid of a trial. If a man is journeying, and his sack is heavy, there are two ways in which it may be made light—one is to take it from his back and throw it away; the other is to increase his strength so that he does not feel it. The latter is the better way—it is the divine way. A trial continued and easily borne is better than a trial removed.
