Hosea… The story of unconditional love. Of redemption. Of how even after Hosea’s wife prostitutes herself and keeps going back to her old life, Hosea still loves her.
And this story is in the Bible to show us a picture of God's relationship with us.
No matter what we've done, no matter how deep the pit we are in is, no matter how lost we are...
God can find us, God can pull us out, God can transform us.
Because He loves us.
That is hope. And that is the promise that I cling to each day.
And as God continues to show us His unconditional love, by example we learn how to love others.
Today I pray that I will love my tribe, my loved ones, the way God loves me.
July 23, 2018 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Hosea 14:4-5,7-9 NLT
[4] The Lord says, “I will heal you….” My love will know no bounds… [5] I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven. Israel will blossom like the lily; [7] My people will again live under my shade. They will flourish like grain and blossom like grapevines. 8] ...I am the one who answers your prayers and cares for you. [9] Let those who are wise understand these things. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them.
