“You will find that nothing is too small for His regard. He will say things to you that you could not repeat-they would sound too small, too intimate-but they will be the joy and rejoicing of your heart.”

“I wish it were in my power, after this day, to cry down all love but the love of Christ, and to cry down all gods but Christ, all saviours but Christ, all well beloveds but Christ, and all soul-suitors and love-beggars but Christ.”
― Samuel Rutherford, The Letters of Samuel Rutherford: Excerpts from Thirty Important Letters

“All, all for evermore to be Christ’s! What further trials are before me I know not, but I know that Christ will have a saved soul of me, over on the other side of the water, on the yonder side of crosses, and beyond men’s wrongs.”
― Samuel Rutherford, The Letters of Samuel Rutherford: Excerpts from Thirty Important Letters

“Which is harder, to do or to endure? I think to endure is much the harder, and our Father loves us too much to let us pass through life without learning to endure. So I want you to welcome the little difficult things, the tiny prick and ruffles that are sure to come almost every day. They give you a chance to say 'No' to yourself and by doing so you will become strong not only to do but also to endure.”
― Amy Carmichael, Candles in the Dark
