Therefore, be imitators of God as beloved children and walk in love as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2.

Ryan Bush: 00:36

They are happy forevermore who are overhead and ears in the love of Christ and know no sickness but lovesickness for Christ and feel no pain, but the pain of an absent and hidden well beloved. God hath made many fair flowers, but the fairest of them all is heaven, and the flower of all flowers is Christ. Oh, why do we not fly up to that lovely one? Fie, fie upon us who love fair things as fair gold, fair houses, fair lands, fair pleasures, fair honors, and fair persons, and do not pine and melt away with love to Christ. Oh, would to God I had more love for his sake. Samuel Rutherford.
