Will You Love Me When It Hurts?

Aug 2, 2026    Pastor Leo R. Thomas

Love is easy to talk about when everything feels good, but real love is revealed when it costs something.

In Hosea 3:1–3, God commands Hosea to love again, pursue again, and remain faithful even in the face of pain, betrayal, and brokenness. Through Hosea’s obedience, we see a powerful picture of God’s love for His people. A love that pursues us when we wander, redeems us when it costs, and calls us back into covenant relationship.
