Let us be faithful and care for our own part, which is to do and suffer for Him, and lay Christ's part on Himself, and leave it there; duties are ours, events are the Lord's.
Samuel RutherfordVerily, we know not what an evil it is to indulge ourselves, and to make an idol of our will.
Samuel RutherfordI have been benefited by praying for others; for by making an errand to God for them I have gotten something for myself.
Samuel RutherfordYou will not get to steal quietly into heaven, into Christ's company, without a conflict and a cross. I find crosses to be Christ's carved work that he marks out for us and that with crosses he portraits us to his own image, cutting away pieces of our ill and corruption. Lord cut - Lord carve - Lord wound - Lord do anything that may perfect thy Father's image in us and make us ready for glory.
Samuel Rutherford
