One of the most striking and beautiful passages of Scripture is in the book of Hosea. I persistently read it over and over again. It give me chills and moves me to run quickly to my God who loves me more than anything on this earth. Just wanted to share what I believe to be one of the most powerful images of how great His love is for us:
Hosea 1:14-20
"But then I will win her back once again.
I will lead her into the desert
and speak tenderly to her there.
I will return her vineyards to her
and transform the Valley of Troubles into a gateway of hope.
She will give herself to me there,
as she did long ago when she was young,
when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt.
When that day comes," says the Lord ,
"you will call me `my husband'
instead of `my master.'s
O Israel, I will wipe the many names of Baal from your lips,
and you will never mention them again.
On that day I will make a covenant
with all the wild animals and the birds of the sky
and the animals that scurry along the ground
so they will not harm you.
I will remove all weapons of war from the land,
all swords and bows,
so you can live unafraid
in peace and safety.
I will make you my wife forever,
showing you righteousness and justice,
unfailing love and compassion.
I will be faithful to you and make you mine,
and you will finally know me as the Lord."
Rest in knowing that He will do anything He can to show you His love, He will paint the skies and bring you stars. He will give you blessings and ease your pain. He will provide for you, secure you, and He has died for you. He longs to win your heart and captivate it. There's nothing that is more beautiful or more honorable in this world. Let His love consume your heart. Full surrender to His love is nothing short of worth it. Give your all to Him. :)
"Canvas is a bank piece of life. Waiting for someone to throw color and ambition on it. It waits anxiously for itself to come to life. Now is the time. Let the journey begin."
