The Lord's Pantry Is Stocked Full

This quote from Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) is taken from The Loveliness of Christ which is on the book table:

"There is as much in our Lord's pantry as will satisfy all his [children], and as much wine in his cellar as will quench all their thirst. Hunger on; for there is meat in hunger for Christ: go never from him, but [trouble] him (who yet is pleased with the importunity of hungry souls) with a dishful of hungry desires, till he fill you; and if he delay yet come not you away, albeit you should fall a-swoon at his feet" (p.4)

"Everyday we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom." (p.viii)
