“Sometimes, the Lord may keep you waiting for His supplies that you may enjoy them all the better when they do come. He never is before His time, but He never is behind His time, though He may be behind your time. God will provide.”
― Charles Spurgeon

“There is much in our Lord's pantry that will satisfy his children, and much wine in his cellar that will quench all their thirst. Hunger for him until he fills you. He is pleased with the importunity of hungry souls. If he delays, do not go away, but fall a-swoon at his feet. Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love has neither brim nor bottom. How blessed are we to enjoy this invaluable treasure, the love of Christ; or rather allow ourselves to be mastered and subdued in his love, so that Christ is our all, and all other things are nothing. O that we might be ready for the time our Lord's wind and tide call for us! There are infinite plies in his love that the saint will never be able to unfold. I urge upon you a nearer and growing communion with Christ. There are curtains to be drawn back in Christ that we have never seen. There are new foldings of love in him. Dig deep, sweat, labour, and take pains for him, and set by as much time in the day for him as you can; he will be won with labour. Live on Christ's love. Christ's love is so kingly, that it will not wait until tomorrow, it must have a throne all alone in your soul. It is our folly to divide our narrow and little love. It is best to give it all to Christ. Lay no more on the earthly, than it can carry. Lay your soul and your weights upon God; make him your only and best-beloved. Your errand in this life is to make sure an eternity of glory for your soul, and to match your soul with Christ. Your love, if it could be more than all the love of angels in one, would be Christ's due. Look up to him and love him. O, love and live! My counsel is, that you come out and leave the multitude, and let Christ have your company. Let those who love this present world have it, but Christ is a more worthy and noble portion; blessed are those who have him.”
― Samuel Rutherford

“The husband whispers in th
e ear of his wife, “I will
never leave you, nor forsake you,” but he
forgets the hour of death when he must
go from all below. The mother, as she
presses her child to her bosom, says, “I will never leave y
ou, nor forsake you,” but she
knows not how soon that little
child may be an orphan to need another’s
care. Friend says to friend, “I will ne
ver leave you, nor forsake you,” forget-
ting how changeable human friendships are, for many are the
hearts that have been torn asunder by vows, honestly whis-
pered at the time, which have been forgot
ten through the lapse of years, or have
been treacherously broken. “I will never
leave you, nor forsake you,” is not a prom
ise for mortal lips to utter! Transient
beings like ourselves must not venture to
say, “I will never do this or that,”
for, alas, we know not what we may do,
or may not do! Even though we think we shall
never prove to be traitors, yet traitors we may prove to be.
Or if not traitors, our power may
fail so that we shall be una-
ble to do what we have promis
ed. But when Jehovah says, “I
will never leave you, nor forsak
e you,” it is a Divine Prom-
ise and He who utters it, Divinely keeps
it! ‘Tis a fit promise for God to speak an
d ‘tis a fit promise for God’s servants to
hear. You have lost many of those dear to you, but you have
not lost your God! They have
gone from you, one by one,
“as star by star grows dim,” but His Light
still shines on—and shall shine on forever!”
