The wonderful thing about God's schoolroom... is that we get to grade our own papers. You see, He doesn't test us so He can learn how well we're doing. He tests us so we can discover how well we're doing.

Genesis 22:1 (NIV) Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied.
Psalm 66:10 (NIV) For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
2 Corinthians 13:5 (NIV) Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?
