— Hosea 2:19-20
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
God longed for Israel to be faithful to him. Despite the unfaithfulness in the past, God offered his people forgiveness and hope that they could be restored to relationship with him again. If God was willing to pay such an incredibly high price to do this, shouldn’t we do the same with each other? But, let’s go one step further; let’s be faithful to each other and to God in the first place!
My Prayer…
Dear Heavenly Father, God of compassion, please give me a more forgiving and sensitive heart. In addition, dear Father, please give me a faithful heart that will not stray from the pledges and vows I have made to you and to others. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
