"Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days."
Hosea 3:5
This verse is about returning to God. Throughout the chapter the symbolism of adultery is used as an illustration of how we betray God when we make covenants with him and then walk away. It's an uncomfortable analogy, perhaps appropriately, because it gets us to really think about how we are treating the Lord.
Today, let's improve, and keep our promises, and return to the Lord. God will take us back if we turn to him with our whole hearts and make the effort to change. He loves us that much... not a weakness or a lack of self-respect, but an honest forgiveness and love that allows us to have another chance and to change, despite our horrible mistakes. ... Let's thank and praise him, and repent and return.
