“Exposed to the same fire gold grows red but chaff smokes, and under the same threshing sledge the straw is broken to pieces but the grain separated…in the same affliction the wicked curse God, while the good are praying and praising Him. So important is it, not what the suffering is like, but what the individual who …suffers is like.”
______________ Augustine (A.D. 354-430) City of God Book 1.1X.
