"We do not have ordinarily so clear a proof of the reality of grace as [we do when we are] under sore trials...By knocking upon a jar we see whether it be full or empty, cracked or sound--so by these knocks of providence we are discovered. Stars that lie hid in the day shine in the night. The rose is not so sweet on the bush as in the vase. A great storm discovers the goodness of the ship and the skill of the pilot, so in the night of afflictions the splendor of grace is best seen." - Thomas Manton
