A picture of life, at times.
Desolate, Drought, Devastating.
Bend Down, O God, and hear our prayer.
"Ephraim has hired lovers. Even though they hired allies among the nations. They multiplied altars for sin... They forgot their Maker while multiplying fortified cities." Hosea 8:8-10. They played the harlot and loved the earnings.
There's a point here.
God's Words, His Story of Hosea and a harlot represents a welcome, a wooing, a wonderful invitation for more. More than what this old world offers.
God yearns your way.
From the days of old, your very first days, He was there.
"Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk,
I took them in My arms;
But they did not know that I healed them...
And I bent down and fed them. Hosea 11:4
But they were bent on turning from Me. Hosea 11:7
Am I bent on my own will?
Do I feed on the wind? Hosea 12:1

The Lord is His name.
Therefore, Return to Kindness and Justice.
Wait for your God continually. Hosea 12:6
Expect Him to do much. He has. He is. He will.
"You will be irresistibly drawn to My Love and able to give it to others when you discover in your own experience that the love I have planted in your heart can never be destroyed by rejection, betrayal, criticism, or any other form of unlove you receive. True love re eals itslef as the strongest of all passions when your impulse to hate those who hurt you is fully felt." 66LL
