"If your Lord calls you to suffering, do not be dismayed . . . "

"If your Lord calls you to suffering, do not be dismayed, for He will provide a deeper portion of Christ in your suffering. The softest pillow will be placed under your head though you must set your bare feet among thorns. Do not be afraid at suffering for Christ, for He has a sweet peace for a sufferer."

~ Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661), Scottish Presbyterian pastor and theologian, one of the original Scottish Covenanters, and had an integral part of the writing of the Westminster Confession of Faith and Westminster Catechism
