Today is Wednesday, October 9, 2019, and here is your Daily Devo. Having been pursued and loved by God, and in light of the great personal cost to himself, we are called to extend that same pursuit of love to others. We love because we have been loved. As is in the case of Hosea, this love for others is not an emotional attachment, and it is not without cost.
To pursue others with the message of the gospel will be a costly endeavor. It will cost us time and the realignment of priorities. But when the cost might seem to be too great, it's helpful for us to call to mind the great cost that God himself paid for us. Think about this.
What does this account teach us about loving other people? Why is it important that we share God's message with actions and not just words alone?
