Every event and situation in your life is designed as a test of your character. For example, both poverty and wealth are tests. A wealthy person is tempted to become arrogant and forget the Almighty. A poor person, meanwhile, may be tempted to steal or commit fraud. Whether life is going smoothly, or whether it has suffering, it is all part of God’s plan to strengthen our moral character.
This perspective will change our response to any event that occurs in our lives. Knowing that something is a “test of character” will make it easier to past those tests with flying colors!
Today, think of a recent event in which you may have mishandled the situation, or responded inappropriately. Then work through what can you now do to correct that and transform it into a spiritual victory.

Glad you like it, Stella. Every day, I try to post one of these quotes to counter the negativity (including mine) that’s blasting around the internet.

Just to let you know, I have three separate WordPress blogs (I like to compartmentalize my interests) and you just followed “My Morning Meditations,” which is fine. But if you want to follow the blog where I post Rabbinic quotes every morning, you’ll have to follow “Powered by Robots”. I know, it’s confusing but “Meditations” was my first WP blog and I guess the “follow” button defaults to it.
