| Samuel Rutherford
After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there comes clear, open skies.Alas, we but chase feathers flying in the air, and tire our own spirits, for the froth and over-gilded clay of a dying life. One sight of what my Lord hath let me see within this short time, is worth a world of worlds. I desire now to make no more pleas with Christ; verily, he hath not put me to a loss by what I suffer; he oweth me nothing; for in my bonds, how sweet and comfortable have the thoughts of him been to me, wherein I find a sufficient recompense of reward! Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them. See that you buy the field where the Pearl is; sell all, and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy: for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory: many are lying dead by the way, slain with security. To believe Christ's cross to be a friend, as he himself is a friend, is also a special act of faith. We take nothing to the grave with us, but a good or evil conscience... It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down; and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again. |
