Will You Love Me When It Hurts?

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.
