Hosea, the story of unconditional love. Of redemption. Of how even after this woman prostitutes herself and keeps going back to her old life, Hosea still loves her.
And it is in the Bible to show us about God's relationship with us. No matter what we've done, no matter how deep we are in the pit, 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 every 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 the way God loves me.
July 27, 2024 Our prayer for Our Loved One today:
Hosea 14:4-5,7-9 NLT [4] The Lord says, "Then I will heal you of your faithlessness; my love will know no bounds, for my anger will be gone forever. [5] I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven. Israel will blossom like the lily; it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars in Lebanon. [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.
