[:en]REFRESHING SPRING RAINS
In the book of Hosea, the Lord gave the prophet the unenviable task of marrying an unfaithful woman as a picture of the Creator’s love for His people of Israel (Hosea 1:2-3) Hosea’s wife, Gomer, broke their wedding vows, but Hosea welcomed her back yearning that she would love him devotedly. (Hosea 3:1-3). The Lord also desires that we love Him with a strength and commitment that won’t evaporate like the morning mist because God’s love for us is like refreshing spring rains.
Let us recommit ourselves to the Lord, who loves us as surely as the flowers bud in the spring. Let us seek Him wholeheartedly not only in times of distress but also in seasons of celebration. – (Amy Boucher Pye)[:]
