Ryan Bush: 00:07

Who is a God like you, hardening iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance. He does not retain his anger forever because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us He will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old. Micah 7:18-20.

Ryan Bush: 01:02

Everyone seeketh not God, and far fewer find him because they seek amiss. He is to be sought for above all things if men would find what they seek. Let feathers and shadows alone to children and go seek your well beloved. Your only errand to the world is to woo Christ. Therefore, put other lovers from about the house, and let Christ have all your love without minching or dividing it. The serving of the world and sin hath but a base reward and smoke instead of pleasures, and but a night dream for the true ease to the soul. Go where you will. Your soul shall not sleep sound, but in Christ's bosom. Come in to him and lie down, and rest you on the slain Son of God, and inquire for him. I sought him, and now a fig for all the worm eaten pleasures and moth eaten glory out of heaven. Since I have found him and in him all I can want or wish. Samuel Rutherford.
