Hosea 3 : 1
Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.”

Dear heavenly Father, your love is so extravagant, you asked Hosea to love again, a woman who had caused much pain and sorrow. Help us to love like you do, you have given us this capacity to love as you have given to us your love through your Spirit living in us. Forgive us for not loving the unlovely, forgive us for not loving those different to us, forgive us for not loving the nations like Jesus, and fill us afresh with your love today, In Jesus name I pray , Amen.
