Hosea 9-11, Song of Solomon 8
What God said to me – I punish My children, but I do not destroy them. My aim is to bring them to repentance. My love is everlasting, and my covenant is eternal. I will not turn away forever. ‘I AM” a faithful Father who only desires what is best for My children. I long for each one to walk with Me in faith, trusting Me, and seeking Me. Stay close by My side. Listen closely to what I say. Stay so close that I only need to say a word or make a sound to get your attention. It is so easy to wander – not so much physically as in your heart and mind. You must constantly work at setting your mind on things above. Stay focused on Me. When you find your mind wandering, rein it in quickly, and return your thoughts to Me.
