-Whether God come to his children with a rod or a crown, if he come himself with it, it is well. Welcome, welcome Jesus, what may soever thou come, if we can get a sight of thee:and sure I am, it is better to be sick, providing Christ come to the bedside and draw the curtains, and say, Courage, I am thy salvation, than to enjoy health, being lusty and strong and never need to be visited of God.
-Let our Lord's sweet hand square us and hammer us, and strike off the knots of pride, self-love and world-worship, and infidelity, that he may make us stones and pillars in his Father's house (Rev. 3:12). Think ye much to follow the Heir of the crown, who had experience of sorrows and was acquainted with grief (Isa. 53).
-No pen, no words, no image can express to you the loveliness of my only, only Lord Jesus.
~Samuel Rutherford~
