Humility is a strange flower; it grows best in winter weather, and under storms of affliction.
Samuel RutherfordOur little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome home to Heaven.
Samuel RutherfordYou shall by faith sustain yourself and comfort yourself in your Lord, and be strong in His power; for you are in the beaten and common way to heaven, when you are under our Lord's crosses. You have reason to rejoice in it, more than in a crown of gold; and rejoice and be glad to bear the reproaches of Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
