Puritan Wisdom

"Hypocrites serve in the pleasure boat: they can serve God in prosperity; but when we can keep close to him in times of danger, when we can trust him in darkness, and love him when we have no smile, and say, 'Thy will be done,' that is the trial of sincerity God is only trying us; and what hurt is there in that? What is gold the worse for being tried?" -- Thomas Watson, 173.
