More quotes by Samuel Rutherford
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
There is nothing left to us but to see how we may be approved of Him, and how we may roll the weight of our weak souls in well-doing upon Him, who is God omnipotent.
Samuel Rutherford
Ye have lost a child--nay, she is not lost to you, who is found to Christ she is not sent away, but only sent before like unto a star, which going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.
Samuel Rutherford
I find it most true that the greatest temptation outside of hell is to live without temptations if water stands, it rots faith is the better for the sharp winter storm in its face and grace withers without adversity. The devil is but God's master fencer to teach us to handle our weapons.
Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford
Grace grows best in winter.
Samuel Rutherford
Be not cast down. If ye saw Him who is standing on the shore, holding out His arms to welcome you to land, ye would wade, not only through a sea of wrongs, but through hell itself to be with Him.
Samuel Rutherford
Every man by nature is a freeman born by nature no man cometh out of the womb under any civil subjection to king, prince, or judge.
Samuel Rutherford
Our little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome home to Heaven.
Samuel Rutherford
Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.
Samuel Rutherford
The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower
Samuel Rutherford
If ye never had a sick night and a pained soul for sin, ye have not yet lighted upon Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
Oh thrice fools are we who like new-born princes weeping in the cradle know not that there is a kingdom before them then 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.
Samuel Rutherford
The night will close the door & fasten my anchor within the veil and I shall go away to sleep.
Samuel Rutherford
The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.
Samuel Rutherford
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.
Samuel Rutherford
The hope of heaven under troubles is like wind and sails to the soul.
