Riches are the pettiest and least worthy gifts which God can give a man. What are they to God's Word, to bodily gifts, such as beauty and health; or to the gifts of the mind, such as understanding, skill, wisdom! Yet men toil for them day and night, and take no rest. Therefore God commonly gives riches to foolish people to whom he gives nothing else.
Martin LutherI have done nothing; the Word has done and accomplished everything.... I let the Word do its work!
Martin LutherGod's love does not love that which is worthy of being loved, but it creates that which is worthy of being loved.
