A Love That Knows No Bounds

We all want to love and be loved more deeply, but real love is hard and we often fail. The book of Hosea paints a picture of God’s love for Israel amid Israel’s disregard for God. Because of their disobedience, God’s love is intertwined with deep pain. And yet, God is still willing to give himself to them. Real love is not as simple as a fleeting emotion or even a force of will. It’s our willingness to give ourselves for another. Real love is sacrifice. Pray this week to love someone who challenges you the way that God loves them—without bounds!
