The proverb has it that Hunger is the best cook. The Law makes afflicted consciences hungry for Christ. Christ tastes good to them. Hungry hearts appreciate Christ. Thirsty souls are what Christ wants. He invites them: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Christ's benefits are so precious that He will dispense them only to those who need them and really desire them.
Martin LutherGod our Father has made all things depend on faith so that whoever has faith will have everything, and whoever does not have faith will have nothing
Martin LutherThe winds are nothing else but good or bad spirits. Hark! how the Devil is puffing and blowing.
Martin LutherSin cannot tear you away from him [Christ] even though you commit adultery a hundred times a day and commit as many murders.
