"Temptations differ with different people: some are greatly tempted in the first stages of turning to God; some have it in their later days; while still others have it all their lives, and there are also those who are only lightly tempted. But it is all part of God's plan for us, Whose wisdom and justice knows each person's state and orders all things rightly for the salvation of His elect."
Imitation of Christ, Book One, Chapter Thirteen
