The Book of the Prophet Hosea
God’s first commandment given to us is to Love God with all our heart. God compares His love for us like a husband to a wife. The book of Hosea shows us how to be faithful to God, just as a husband and wife should be faithful to each other. God uses this example to show how He loves us. We stray away from God sometimes and lose faith, we become unfaithful. God is always there ready to forgive us when we are truly sorry for our sin. God will always remain faithful to us.

- I wonder what it means to be a Child of God.
