Each of us therefore is challenged, tested, tried, and given opportunity to succeed or fail, each in a different measure, but each in accordance with his abilities. In the Divine assessment, which is truly un-knowable to us, each person receives Divine Judgment - and by definition Divine Judgment is perfectly fair. Each of us is given the same opportunity to receive Divine assistance in our time of being tested on Earth.
