"Perhaps most important of all is that trials and pains purify and increase true spirituality. They not only enable us to see and discern what is true from what is false, but also "tend to refine it, and deliver it from those mixtures of that which is false, which encumber and impede it, [so] that noting may be left but that which is true."
Sam Storms, Signs of the Spirit: An Interpretation of Jonathan Edwards' Religious Affections,
p. 37
