This morning my husband and I have been sitting here catching up watching a favorite tv show together knowing that very shortly we have to go in separate directions off to our different jobs for the day. I really cherish the little bit of time we can be together and miss him so much when he's not by my side. This man that I have spent over twenty two years of my life with is someone I still wish I could spend every waking moment with. If I feel this way about my husband, I imagine how much more God feels that way about us. How much He desires to spend time with us...and have His love reciprocated.
Hosea 2:14-23 is a clear demonstration of the lengths God was willing to go to spend time with His Bride...the Church. It showed how much God wanted to be with His people. They had gone to follow other loves, but He wasn't going to let them go. He would draw them back to Him...as He is drawing us back to Him. Today is Good Friday...on this day many years ago, Jesus laid down His life for ours. The Bible says, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." He did this out of His great love for us...He did this so that we would have life...and not only life, but life more abundantly...life forever with Him throughout eternity. Just imagine, if you could, being able to spend every waking moment forever with the one you love. Soon He is coming back to get us...I wait for the day expectantly. I hope you do too. Remembering His sacrifice today. He is such a loving God! He loves you! ...and He loves me, and wants nothing more than to spend time with us. He's missing you...spend time with Him.
