Samuel Rutherford Heart Quotations

Come all crosses, welcome, welcome! so I may get my heart full of my Lord Jesus.

Christ and His cross are not separable in this life, howbeit Christ and His cross part at heaven's door, for there is no house-room for crosses in heaven. One tear, one sigh, one sad heart, one fear, one loss, one thought of trouble cannot find lodging there.

Your heart is not the compass that God steers by.

Since He looked upon me my heart is not my own. He hath runaway to heaven with it.

I wonder many times that ever a child of God should have a sad heart, considering what the Lord is preparing for him.

In our fluctuations of feelings, it is well to remember that Jesus admits no change in His affections; your heart is not the compass Jesus saileth by.

Set not your heart upon the world, since God hath not made it your portion.
