This quote especially has me checking my heart:
“Many love Christ as long as they encounter no hardship; many praise and bless him as long as they receive some comfort from him. But if Jesus hides himself and leaves them for a while, they either start complaining or become dejected. Those, on the contrary, who love him for his own sake and not for any comfort of their own, praise him both in trial and anguish of heart as well as in the bliss of consolation. Even if Jesus should never comfort them, they would continue to praise and thank him. What power there is in a pure love for Jesus—love that is free from all self-interest and self-love!”
Awesome!

Yeah, I think that if you observe people in their hard times, you find out if they know Him. I've been looking a lot more at walk than talk lately and it's typically hard to hide the walk.
