God shows us he loves us by giving us access to himself.
The difference between bitter and better is I.
I think God gives us all that in his Word because he's a loving Father.
I still feel the same way about God's Word as I did when I was 15 and lost my sight.
I choose Hosea. Oh, there's no book of the Bible which more beautifully and more painfully demonstrates how very much God loves us.
God's Word does provide life lessons to teach us how to live. And it gives us beautiful poetry that gives voice to our human experience. And, yes, it does give us clear boundaries of what we should and shouldn't do so we can live our best lives.
