[Mad Dawg]

You are not some lowly worm, but a marvellous creation of the Almighty God.

I'd rather say, "You were ceated much more than a worm; fallen you are far worse, since you are the corruption of so noble a thing, and 'lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds'.(No that's not Scripture, I do confess it.) Redeemed, you are again higher, but you bear the marks of your degradation, as Christ bears His wounds. However in Him they are and in you they may become glorious."

But then, I'll say anything ...

Good explanation. Thanks.
