Anchored in Love
The Love of God
Scripture
“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.”
— Hosea 2:19 (KJV)
Reflection
God's love is not the kind that comes and goes with our moods. Hosea 2:19 gives us a love that holds: "I will betroth thee unto me for…" When you feel unworthy, it holds. When you feel unseen, it holds. When you feel undone, it holds. The cross is the proof that cannot be argued away — He loved you while you were still far off, and He has not stopped. Today, take your fragile, weary heart and place it carefully in the strong hands that bear the marks of love. He will not crush what He came to save. He will not weary of welcoming you home.
Prayer
Father of mercies, let Your kindness shape me today. May I receive Your love and pass it on freely. Amen.
Thought for the Day
What lie about God's love do I need to stop believing?
