Love, Relationship

I would like to share briefly what I meditated upon during quiet time this morning.

Hosea 6:4b
"...Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears."

Reflection: Is our love for the Lord as described in this verse? Does our love for Him grow cold so easily or do we love him daily?

Hosea 6:6
"For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings."

Reflection: Are we really sharing a deep loving relationship with God, or are we just "doing things" for Him? Are we missing the point altogether in our lives? Do we acknowledge Him in all our ways or do we just remember on certain days?

Hoseas 7:14
"They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail upon their beds."

Reflection: How do we react to trouble and suffering in our lives? Do we turn to God from the bottom of our hearts?
