Is FAITH based on Tests...?

I've always hated tests. All and any kinds of tests. When I was younger, I would dread the fact there even was one. I always wanted to just tear it up into pieces or put it through the shredder. Sometimes, I still want to. But, I've learned that Tests are something you SHOULD look forward to. It builds up your faith in God. Well, that's if you trust him. And understand the material. You know? Tests are also good to confirm that you know what was being taught. That you've actually LEARNED something! What a great way to see if you've been using your brain eh? Haha. I know that school tests us not because they want to torture us, but they want to test and make sure you're ready for the "real world" haha. And God puts us through tests everyday to test our faith. At least, I think that's the reason. I believe there is a reason for everything that happens. :)
