Letters of Samuel Rutherford Quotes

“Madam, when you are come to the other side of the water, and set down your foot on the shore of glorious eternity, and look back to the water and to your wearisome journey, and shall see in that clear glass of endless glory nearer to the bottom of God's wisdom, you shall then be forced to say, "If God had done otherwise with me than He hath done, I had never come to the enjoying of this crown of glory.”
― Samuel Rutherford, Letters of Samuel Rutherford

“The thorn is one of the most cursed and angry
and crabbed weeds that the earth yields, and yet out of it springs the rose, one of the sweetest smelled flowers, and most delightful to the eye.”
― Samuel Rutherford, Letters of Samuel Rutherford
