Morning light Quote by John Milton
““Ah, much deluded! lay aside Thy threats, and anger misapplied! Art not afraid with sounds like these To offend, where thou canst not appease? Death is not (wherefore dream'st thou thus?) The son of night and Erebus: Not was of fell Erynnis born On gulfs where Chaos rules forlorn. But sent from God, his presence leaves, To gather home his ripen'd sheaves, To call encumber'd souls away From fleshly bonds to boundless day, (As when the winged hours excited, And summon forth the morning light) And each to convoy to her place Before the Eternal Father's face.””

That's why Luther said we must take heed then, to embrace...the love and kindness of God...[and to] daily excercise [our] faith…” quote by Elyse Fitzpatrick](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/025/elyse-fitzpatrick-19135_doubt_unless-we-re-very-intentional-about-medi_259795.jpg)
