the Father’s love to guilty man? And do you choose him as your Saviour
and only hope, your atoning sacrifice, and your only righteousness? God
be praised, you have ever heard the gospel, which has pointed you to him,
though you know it is not enough to be pointed to Christ, but we want
bringing to him. Hence the promise, They shall come, and I will lead
them.
Let me conclude this short letter by reciting a few texts, to encourage
you in seeking the Lord. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee. If
thou seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him if thou seek him with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul. Thou Lord hast not forsaken them that
seek thee. Your heart shall live that seek God. I said not unto the
seed of Jacob, seek me in vain. Ye shall seek me, and find me when ye
search for me with all your heart. Seek ye the Lord, till he come and
rain righteousness upon you. Seek ye me, and ye shall live. The Lord is
good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. He that
cometh to God, must believe that he is a rewarder of them that diligently
seek him. The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him for good.
These are among the many precious promises that the Lord has given to his
people, to encourage them to seek his face, his favour, and his
friendship. May the Holy Ghost shine on his word, and shine into your
beast; to give you joy and peace in believing.
Grace be with you,
_Ruhamah_.
The dear girl is since gone home to glory, testifying as she sunk in
death, that the Saviour was very precious to her soul.
