A book worth quoting
a thought worth pondering
a truth worth meditating upon.
a thought worth pondering
a truth worth meditating upon.
All of this is true of a simple, yet powerful book a dear friend gave to me recently. The Loveliness of Christ by Samuel Rutherford is amazing in it's depth of insight born of a humble and deeply sincere love for our wondrous Savior. In said humility and love it challenges current mindsets to rise to that which is high, holy, and truely worthy of the manifest efforts of our finite beings. It comes with the highest recommendations from our home to yours.
"The great Master Gardener, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
in a wonderful providence, with His own hand, planted me here,
where by His grace, in this part of His vineyard, I grow;
and here I will abide
till the great Master of the vineyard think fit to transplant me."
"Wants are my best riches,
for I have these supplied by Christ."
