Martin Luther said to Erasmus:
"Mere human reason can never comprehend how God is good and merciful; and therefore you make yourself a god of your own fancy, who hardens nobody, condemns nobody, pities everybody. You cannot comprehend how a just God can condemn those who are born in sin, and

Cain was so angry he would not be talked out of his sin—even by God.
Eve, however, had to be talked into her sin by Satan; but Cain “belonged to the evil one” (1 John 3:12).

[060]. A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – DO NOT TRUST OURSELVES – TRUST GOD
When you think you know it all:
Then you don't.
When you think you’ll do it all;
Then you won’t.

TWO MILES OF DITCH
I was headed home late from a wedding reception and had about a two hour drive when a friend said to me, "Remember that for every mile you drive there are two miles of ditch".
