My desire is that my Lord would give me broader and deeper thoughts, to feed myself with wondering at His love. - Samuel Rutherford

Grow as a palm-tree on God's Mount Zion; howbeit shaken with winds, yet the root is fast.

Build your nest upon no tree here, for ye see that God hath sold the forest to death.

Ye have lost a child — nay, she is not lost to you, who is found to Christ; she is not sent away, but only sent before; like unto a star, which going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.
