There is a story about Martin Luther. Even after he had come into a liberating experience with God, he was tempted, and was always merciless with himself over the things he had done or failed to fulfill spiritually.
Once, when he was miserable, a brother said to him, "Martin, God has blessed you, but you have not yet discovered the 'God of the Agains'. You need to know the God who keeps on saving you.
Festo Kivengere, Revolutionary Love, p34. (Emphasis original.)
