Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

For whoever has truly recognized that he has earned hell with his sins cannot possibly be dissatisfied his lot, however unfavorable it may seem. He must remember that no matter the circumstances, they are better than he merits. As the book of Lamentations expresses it, “Why should a living man complain, a man, about the punishment of his sins?”—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 394.
