Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

He who could create me at first can now restore me.  He who created me without sin, can now remove from me all the sin which has entered into me and has permeated my whole being, either through the temptation of the devil, through Adam's fault, or through my own actual transgressions.  My Creator can restore my soul, if only He is willing so to do; and certainly He is willing, for who can hate the work of his own hands?  -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, Sacred Meditation VIII
