A Quote by Samuel Rutherford
Since He looked upon me my heart is not my own. He hath runaway to heaven with it.

The sea hath its pearls
The heaven hath its stars
But my heart, my heart
Has its love.
When we see what He has for us there, we'll agree with Paul, when he wrote about Heaven, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9). - Things we didn't even imagine could be so beautiful and wonderful.
It is thyself, mine own self's better part; Mine eye's clear eye, my dear heart's dearer heart; My food, my fortune, and my sweet hope's aim, My sole earth's heaven, and my heaven's claim.
He hath desired to bring the souls of other men to heaven; let his soul be brought to heaven.
If you're 'stuck' right now, you're probably into fear. Get out of there. You've already looked both ways. Now cross the street, for heaven sake. The cars have long since gone. The coast is clear. Your only obstacle now is your own mind.
The soul of man createth its own destiny of power; and as the trial is intenser here, his being hath a nobler strength in heaven.
O, a kiss
Long as my exile, sweet as my revenge!
Now, by the jealous queen of heaven, that kiss I carried from thee, dear, and my true lip
Hath virgined it e'er since.
That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold; What hath quenched them hath given me fire.
The heart which grief hath cankered, Hath one unfailing remedy - the Tankard.
All that hath been majestical
In life or death, since time began,
Is native in the simple heart of all,
The angel heat of man.
By heaven, I do love: and it hath taught me to rhyme, and to be mekancholy.
Let him have the key of thy heart, who hath the lock of his own.
Since when has love ever looked for reasons, or evidence? Why would love bow to the reality of things, when it creates a reality of its own, so much more vivid, wherein everything resonates to the key of the heart?
Set not your heart upon the world, since God hath not made it your portion.
And since all this loveliness can not be Heaven, I know in my heart it is June.
Why should we faint and fear to live alone,Since all alone, so Heaven has willed, we die?Nor even the tenderest heart, and next our own,Knows half the reasons why we smile and sigh.
