And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. ~ Philippians 1:6

God's Love
Hosea 11
The Lord’s Love for Israel
1 “When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and I called my son out of Egypt.
2 But the more I[a] called to him,
the farther he moved from me,
offering sacrifices to the images of Baal
and burning incense to idols.
3 I myself taught Israel[b] how to walk,
leading him along by the hand.
But he doesn’t know or even care
that it was I who took care of him.
4 I led Israel along
with my ropes of kindness and love.
I lifted the yoke from his neck,
and I myself stooped to feed him.

To me these verses could have been written especially for me......
Hosea 11
The Lord’s Love for Tish
1 “When Tish was a child, I loved her,
and I called my daughter out of the World.
2 But the more I called to her,
the farther she moved from me,
offering sacrifices to the images of the World
and burning incense to idols.
3 I myself taught Tish how to walk,
leading her along by the hand.
But she doesn’t know or even care
that it was I who took care of her.
4 I led Tish along
with my ropes of kindness and love.
I lifted the yoke from her neck,
and I myself stooped to feed her.

I don't think I have ever heard a Word from God that was so powerful and that hit me this hard. When I was small I didn't have a father to teach me how to walk or to keep me from danger. But all along my true Father was there guiding and protecting me. I was never alone. Ever.
Thank you Abba Father.
