I am Loved

I will love them with all my heart, for my anger has turned from them. I will fall like dew on Israel.

Hs.14:4,5

The prophet Hosea writes how repentance brings from God a pent up tsunami of love.

Here we see God as a lovesick father looking for the slightest flicker of repentance so he can pour out blessing from his vast lake of love. He's aching to open the flood gates.

This is God's love for me. My part in this transaction is pathetic yet he wants to run and embrace me none the less. Oh how wonderful to feel this loved.

Jesus, God so loved me that he sent you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 

Saint Philip Neri, please pray for me.
