He bears it with us
Thursday, May 04, 2006
I was indeed sorrowful at my departure from you, especially since ye were in such heaviness after your daughters death. Yet, I do persuade myself, ye know that the weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you lieth upon your strong Saviour; for Isaiah saith, "In all your afflictions, He is afflicted." (Isa 1xiii. 9). O blessed Second who suffereth with you! and glad may your soul be even to walk in the fiery furnace with one like unto the Son of Man, who is also the Son of God. Courage up your heart! When ye do tire, He will bear both you and your burden. (Ps 1v. 22). Yet a little while and ye shall see the salvation of God. [Samuel Rutherford to a Christian gentlewoman on the death of her daughter]|
