"Surely what a man does when he is taken off his guard is the best evidence for what sort of man he is. 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 ill-tempered; it only shows me what an ill-tempered man I am." C.S.
Lewis
Who we are when things are going well doesn't reveal very much about us. Who we are when a crisis hits reveals more than we could ever say. Only Christ can help us to be the kinds of people that we were divinely designed to be.
