 Hosea 6

1 “Come, let us return to the LORD.
He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.

 2 After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence.

3 Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.”

I think that God has really shown His faithfulness in my life recently through redemption in friendships.  We are such relational beings that when a relationship is practically ripped in two… it can really keep us from the hope that it will ever be mended again. But if God calls that He will mend us in our brokenness… then of course He will mend these broken relationships in our lives.  I think we just need to “press on to acknowledge Him” like the verse states above so that we can be focused on the work that He is doing in our lives.  He brought us into relationship with Him… and He never will ever let us go… and so therefore it pleases Him immensely for us to seek Him and trust Him even in our earthly relationships.

We are affected spiritually by the people that God has placed in our lives… and when it seems that there is a huge hole in us… we have to trust that only God can fill that.. and then when we least expect it His healing in you is followed by a healed relationship. It’s awesome.

Jesus, I just want to trust you with my whole life.
