And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth
thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in
lovingkindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in
faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
-- Hosea 2:19-20

THOUGHT:
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!
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.
