"Lay no more on the creatures than they are able to carry. Lay your soul and your weights upon God: make him your only, only best Beloved - your errand to this life is to make sure an eternity of glory to your soul and to match your soul with Christ: your love, if it were more than all the love of angels in one, is Christ's due ... I know not what ye have if ye want Christ." -- Rutherford, Samuel, and Ellen S. Lister. The Loveliness of Christ: Extracts from the Letters of Samuel Rutherford. Edinburgh: Banner of Truth Trust, 2007, 41. [Letter CXCI, 1637]
