Love Me Tender

Hosea 8-14

The tenderness of God's love is revealed in his cry to Israel...
O Israel, when I first found you, it was like finding fresh grapes in the desert.
Yet when his love is spurned and his betrothed seeks out another god, he is not amused...
Now whenever it fits my plan, I will attack you, too.
Come back to your first love, return to your Lord and bring your confessions and the Lord will heal you of your unfaithfulness... his love knows no bounds. Why did Israel seek after gods of metal and wood who could do nothing when they had the Lord of Heaven's Armies as their lover? Why do we?
