Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

So it still is that God the Lord unequally distributes the chalice of suffering. And, if God wants to lead you ever closer to a cross, and make you Christ-like, then go along willingly and do not question why it is that others remain up front, on whom God does not lay as much and yet at the same time are good Christians. -- Johann Gerhard, *An Explanation* p. 59
