Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Samuel RutherfordI assure you by the Lord, your adversaries shall get no advantage against you, except you sin, and offend your Lord, in your sufferings.
Samuel RutherfordThink it not hard if you get not your will, nor your delights in this life; God will have you to rejoice in nothing but himself.
Samuel Rutherford
