But in this may we rejoice, that we are in the hand of a God who never did, nor ever can exert his power in an act of oppression, injustice, or cruelty! ... We may rejoice that Almighty Goodness "will not suffer us to be tempted above what we are able but will with the temptation make a way to escape [that we may be able to bear it.]"
~ Susanna Wesley (letter to "Jacky" (John), dated June 8, 1725)
