The Book of Hosea speaks of God’s longing for His chosen people—yet they had hardened hearts that refused to connect with Him in faith and trust. Time and again, we read in the Bible how God seeks the heart To His love, His bride, whom He has chosen, is trying to win her back. It is His deep desire to win her heart.

A common thread of God’s love and joy for His children runs throughout the entire Scripture. But what about us? Do we realize God’s joy and His longing for us? Sigrid wants to reflect with you on these feelings God has for us, His children, and find genuine encouragement for us.

I have you loved always and forever, that is why I drew you to me out of pure kindness.
Jeremiahh 31:3
