"The love of the Lord." Hosea 3:1

What a Love Story! Read Hosea to get the parallel of how far the love of God is willing to go. Look back through all of your experiences, and think of the way the Lord thy God has led you in the wildernesses of life, and how He has fed and clothed you every day--how He has put up with your ill manners--how He has put up with all of your complaints, and all your pursuits after the flesh--how Think of how His grace has been sufficient for you in all your troubles--how His blood has been a pardon to you in all your sins--how His rod and His staff have comforted you. When you have looked back upon the love of the Lord, then let faith survey His love in the future, for remember that Christ's covenant and blood have something more in them than the past. He who has loved you and pardoned you, shall never cease to love and pardon. He is Alpha, and He shall be Omega also: He is first, and He shall be last. Therefore, when you pass through the valley of the shadow of death, you need not fear any evil, for He is with thee. When thou shalt stand in the cold floods of Jordan, thou need not fear, for death cannot separate you from His love; and when you come into the mysteries of eternity you need not tremble, "For I am persuaded, that neither death; nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Now, soul, is not your love refreshed? Does not this make you love Jesus? Does your heart compel you to delight thyself in the Lord thy God? Surely as we meditate on "the love of the Lord," our hearts burn within us, and we long to love Him more.
Morning and Evening I will Bless the Lord and Bring Him Glory
