Here are a collection of quotes from R.M. M'Cheyne that are humbling, convicting, and encouraging. I hope they bless ya'.
"If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me."
"Rose early to seek God and found Him whom my soul loveth. Who would not rise early to meet such company?" [Journal: 23 February1834]
"A man is what he is on his knees before God, and nothing more."
"Set NOT your hearts on the flowers of this world. They shall fade and die. Prize the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. He changes not! Live nearer to Christ than to any person on this earth; so that when they are taken, you may have Him to love and lean upon."
From a hymn entitled "I Am Debtor"
When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon glaring sun,
When we stand with Christ in glory, Looking o'er life's finished story,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know -Not till then - how much I owe.
When I hear the wicked call On the rocks and hills to fall,
When I see them start and shrink On the fiery deluge brink,
-Then, Lord, shall I fully know -Not till then - how much I owe.
When I stand before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own,
When I see thee as thou art, Love thee with unsinning heart,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know -Not till then - how much I owe.
