A grief observed by CS Lewis

This is one of those rare books that would caught my attention even though it's not and absolutely unattractive book on the outside.. But boy, it was worth a short read of 5 min on Tt 1 paragraph!

"God has not been trying to experiment on my faith or love in order to find out their quality. He knew it already. It was I who didn't."

This sentence is so powerful! Change my thinking about facing test, exams an challenges in life literally! We normally think that is it to test ourselves so other may know our capabilities and qualities.. But here we have our All knowing God, throwing challenges n crisis n circumstances daily at us.. not because he needs to or wants to know (coz He already knows.. Durrrr) but because we didn't know.. 

It is like a mirror.. The test is like a mirror.. When we face it, it shows us our reflection and there & then, what we do next determines what we actually walk away with.. 

What reflection do you see now in the mirror? Do you now know what is the condition of your heart, mind and spirit? Do you stay the same or do you walk away changed and knowing you have done your best..
