I know I already used this quote, but it's so good!

C.S. Lewis said,

"When I come to my evening prayers and try to reckon up the sins of the day, nine times out of ten the most obvious one is some sin against charity; I have sulked or snapped or sneered or snubbed or stormed. And the excuse that immediately springs to my mind is that the provocation was so sudden and unexpected; I was caught off my guard, I had not time to collect myself. Now that may be an extenuating circumstance as regards those particular acts: they would obviously be worse if they had been deliberate and premeditated. On the other hand, surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of a man he is? Surely what pops out before the man has time to put on a disguise is the truth? If there are rats in a cellar you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the suddenness does not create the rats: it only prevents them from hiding. In the same way the suddenness of the provocation does not make me an ill-tempered man; it only shows me what an ill-tempered man I am. The rats are always there in the cellar, but if you go in shouting and noisily they will have taken cover before you switch on the light.
~C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, (1952)

So in keeping with the murmuring and testing thought process. How will we know we're a patient person unless put in a situation that tests our patience? Or how will we know if we are a loving kind and forgiving person, unless put in a situation to test that? God does love us, and he's trying to help us be better, more loving, and more humble people. How do you respond when he tests you in your life? Do you murmur, or respond for help and extra strength if you don't feel equal to your task?
