I just finished reading through the book of Hosea and the biggest thing that stood out to me was God’s call for me to RETURN to Him.
God desires relationship with me.
But just as the Israelites did…I fail Him so often.
I turn my back on Him and seek other gods…other ways of doing things…my way of doing things.
I deserve God’s ultimate wrath.
I deserve death.
But, because of Christ’s death on the cross, I have life instead.
I have abundant and eternal life.
There’s just one thing I need to do.
I need to return to my God, heeding His call.
He beckons me back with love and compassion, I need only to return.

Return! You’d think after so much, we’d all, Israel, get it more than we do! His love of us is so profound! Hosea really brings that out! Thank you for sharing! ~ B
