O 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 hands square us, hammer us, and strike off the knots of pride, self-love, world-worship, and infidelity, that He may make us stones and pillars in His Father's house.
--Samuel Rutherford

Ye are His wheat, growing in our Lord's field; and if wheat, ye must go under our Lord's threshing-instrument, in His bam-floor, and through His sieve, (Amos 9:9; Luke 20:31)
and through His mill to be bruised . . . that ye may be found good bread in your Lord's house. . . .--Samuel Rutherford
Right giving is a part of right living. The
living is not right when the giving is wrong. The giving is wrong when we steal '
God's portion ' of our income to hoard, or spend on ourselves

I am taught in this ill weather to go
on the lee-side of Christ, and to put Him in between me and the storm; and (I thank God) I
walk on the sunny side of the brae.

We love to carry a heaven to heaven with us, and would have two summers in one year, and no less than two heavens. But this will not do for us: one (and such a one) may suffice well enough. The Man, Christ, got but one only, and shall we have two?
--Samuel Rutherford
Love would have the company
of the party loved; and my greatest pain is the want of
Him, not of
His joys and comforts, but of a near union and communion.
--Samuel Rutherford
Keep your first
love with
Jesus, fairer than all the children of men. There is none like Him; I would not
exchange one smile of His lovely face with kingdoms.
Let others take their silly, feckless heaven in this life. Envy them not; but let your soul, cast at all
things and disdain them, except one only: either Christ or nothing.
--Samuel Rutherford
