The Word of the Lord. 

Prophet Hosea spoke these words to the people of Israel, that they all should repent of their sinful ways and come to sow righteousness from God, which is walking in the Spirit and living in God's Love. All should be merciful just as God is merciful, and the hearts of the Hebrews needed to be softened to accept the Word of God. At the time Prophet Hosea spoke these words, God wanted his people to be prepared for the greatest act of Creation: The Incarnation of the Eternal Son of God, so that God's righteousness will rain and be absorbed by the Hebrews, so they can come to have Life Eternal. And just as this Prophecy was fulfilled, so this also applies to us today, because today is the time to seek the LORD GOD, because now at this time, he is going to come again in glory to Judge the Living and the Dead, the Righteous in Christ into Eternal Life, and the Wicked ones of Satan into the everlasting fires of Hell. So today, it is time to seek earnestly the Love and Grace of God. Today is the day to open our hearts to God, so that his word may dwell within us, that we may have union and communion with God, and that we may always dwell in the Love of God forever and ever. Amen.
