A Quote by St. Tikhon of Zadonsk on god, christianity, spirituality, truth, temptations, struggle, cleansing, heart, and knowledge

"Many flatter themselves and consider themselves to be good, humble, and meek, but they will discover the contrary under temptation.  Do not not become despondent in temptations, then, but give all the more thanks to God that He thus brings you to what is hidden in your heart - the knowledge of yourself - and wishes you to be corrected and be saved.
