They lose nothing who gain Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Christ and His cross are not separable in this life, howbeit Christ and His cross part at heaven's door, for there is no house-room for crosses in heaven. One tear, one sigh, one sad heart, one fear, one loss, one thought of trouble cannot find lodging there.

Set not your heart upon the world, since God hath not made it your portion.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Desires going before conversion are not such as can calm a storming conscience.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Think 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
Image
My Lord Jesus has fully recompensed my sadness with his joys, my losses with his own presence. I find it a sweet and rich thing to exchange my sorrows with Christ's joys, my afflictions with that sweet peace I have with himself.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I find my Lord Jesus cometh not in the precise way that I lay wait for Him. He hath a manner of His own. Oh, how high are His ways above my ways
Samuel Rutherford
Image
It is certain that this is not only good which the Almighty has done, but that it is best He hath reckoned all your steps to heaven.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I see Christ's love is so kingly, that it will not abide a marrow it must have a throne all alone in the soul.
Samuel Rutherford
