I wonder many times that ever a child of God should have a sad heart, considering what their Lord is preparing for them.
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 RutherfordTo believe Christ's cross to be a friend, as he himself is a friend, is also a special act of faith
Samuel RutherfordNo created powers can mar our Lord Jesus' music, nor spill our song of joy. Let us then be glad and rejoice in the salvation of our Lord
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 Rutherford
