Hosea 11:1-4
When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.
The more they were called, the more they went away; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols.
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them.
I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them....
Hosea 11:8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I hand you over, O Israel?....My heart recoils within me; my compassion grows warm and tender.
"Ephraim" by Lamb
My daily reading has been the in the book of Hosea lately. I can't remember my heart ever being impacted by this book like now. So many gems of the nature and knowledge of God are shown through His faithful prophet. - Zephan
Amazing Love: The Story of Hosea (2012) - full movie
"A Youth Pastor (Sean Astin) and his wife (Erin Bethea) take 5 teens on a weekend camping trip. A conflict results between two of them and creates tension in the camp. To try and resolve this, the Youth Pastor tells the teens the story of the Old Testament prophet, Hosea. At first the teens don't want to hear it, but as he proceeds with the story, they become more interested. The story flashes back to Israel and shows Hosea's great commitment to God and unconditional love for his wife. This movie offers real inspiration through the character of Hosea and also has a touching gospel presentation showing the great love of Christ."
