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 Rutherford
Image
When the race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw.
