Oh, Israel,
What have you done?
Your God's jealousy pours out,
Yet so far from Him you run.
He. Wants. You.
His love burning like a fire.
Where have you gone?
He longs to be your hearts desire.
He led you from Egypt,
Out of torture, death, despair.
Still what do you offer him?
It is your Savior's heart you tear.
The creator of this world
is passionately in love with you.
Please, return, oh Israel.
'Tis the least you could do.
Hosea's one of my absolute favorite stories from the Bible! I always feel like writing a poem when I'm finished reading. haha. :)
ReplyDeleteActually, Miss Miranda, you are the one who inspired me to read the book of Hosea. I read one of your posts on the book and I was sort of drawn to your thoughts. Ergo, I read Hosea. And this is the result. I fell in love with the passionate and pulling love story. So thanks, you.
