Of these desires there be two special examples in the scriptures. The first is, when we are touched in our hearts for our §15sins, to fly to the throne of grace, and to desire reconciliation with God in Christ. When David did but desire the pardon of his sins, and therefore purposed in his heart to humble himself, he received pardon. Psal. 32. 5. I said I will confess my wickedness against my self unto the Lord, and thou forgavest §20the punishment of my sin. When the prodigal son conceived a desire to be reconciled to his father, with a purpose to confess his offence, before he had uttered his desire, he is received to mercy. Luk. 15. 21.
