Daily Devo | Does God Even Like Me? (Prophet & Loss, Hosea 2:17-23)

Many believers are rightly convinced that God loves them, while at the same time wondering if God actually likes them. Perhaps God's love is merely a duty and an obligation? After all, God knows exactly who we are when no one else is looking. The beginning of Hosea's ministry shows clearly that God knows exactly who the people are and who we are, and still, God loves us passionately.

For Reflection:

Despite Israel's infidelity, God communicates passion and desire for restoration.

- Do you believe that God loves you? Do you believe that God likes you? How would you describe God's feelings for you?

- Compare your answer above with how God's passion is described in this passage. In what ways does God's expression of love contrast with your own intuitive sense?

- How might God's passion for us (including for you) affect how you feel towards those who have failed you?
