My dear brother, let God make of you what He will, He will end all with consolation, and shall make glory out of your suffering.
Samuel RutherfordWhen we shall come home, and enter into the possession of our Brother's fair kingdom, and when our heads shall find the weight of the eternal crown of glory, then we shall look back to pains and sufferings and then we will see life and sorrow to be less than one step or stride from a prison to glory. Our little inch of time-suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome-home to heaven.
Samuel RutherfordPraise God for the hammer, the file, and the furnace. The hammer molds us, the file sharpens us, and the fire tempers us.
Samuel Rutherford
