The Devil is but a Whetstone

“Not one ounce, not one grain-weight more is laid on me than He hath enabled me to bear… Faith hath cause to take courage from our very afflictions; the devil is but a whetstone to sharpen the faith and patience of the saint. I know he but heweth and polishesh stones for the new Jerusalem.”

- Samuel Rutherford, The Loveliness of Christ
