tests are simple character is not
May7
when we face the simplest (not necessarily the easiest) of tests, and lose against all odds, it has to be God’s will.
at that moment, I must recall the face of my father; and, he knows the truth.
then the best test is that of character.
Peace be to my Brothers and Sisters

God’s will, in my view, is actually quite simple. His desire is for us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. He wants us to love our neighbor as ourselves. He wants us to share His love and the story of redemption through Christ to everyone.
Everything else either takes us away from that or drives us towards that. It’s all up to us. God can always choose to intervene and do something miraculous or totally normal, but His will never changes. If we align with His will, then He is pleased, and I believe that we likely will be also.
That would take me back to the gift of discernment.
