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 RutherfordShow yourself a Christian by suffering without murmuring. In patience possess your soul - they lose nothing who gain Christ.
Samuel RutherfordI know you are in grief and heaviness; and if it were not so, you might be afraid, because then your way would not be so like the way that our Lord saith leadeth to the New Jerusalem. Sure I am, if you knew what were before you, or if you saw some glances of it, you would, with gladness, swim through the present floods of sorrow, spreading forth your arms out of desire to be at land.
Samuel Rutherford
