Remember

Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears. ~ Hosea 6:4

Have you, in your life time, found love to be fickle? 

As a young man I certainly experienced my share of heartbreak ... and yes, I probably dished up a bit of my own, but it seems that love has always blown hot and cold. There one day, and gone the next.

I’ve known, and or seen, friends and family that have had life altering events awaken them to God. I’ve seen them realize Jesus in their life ...only to see them time and again, wander away over a period of time. Day by day just being pulled slowly, almost impercievably away.

In Hosea 6:4, God laments that the Israelites love disappears like the morning mist and dew. The Old Testament reads like a Lifetime movie of love gone astray. Like many things in our life, what you put in, is what you get out, and love seems the perfect example. The more time you spend nurturing your love, the stronger and long lasting are the results.

Under appreciating love is a regrettable mistake. It will weaken and eventually fade away. Now in God’s case, it’s not God that’s fading away, it’s our focusing on earthly, worldly loves, that divide our time, and inevitably our relationship with him.

Remember him today, visit him today, talk with him today, love on him today ...and return tomorrow, and everyday thereafter. 

Remember.
Remember his commands.
Remember that love lies in his hands.

Pray on...
