S. Rutherford

"Why should I start at the plough of my Lord,
that maketh deep furrows on my soul?
I know he is no idle husbandman,
he purposeth a crop."

From Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus by editor Nancy Guthrie

"You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you, through His poverty might become rich." (2 Cor. 8:9) "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 2)"I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free." (Ps. 119:32)
