I choose Hosea. Oh, there's no book of the Bible which more beautifully and more painfully demonstrates how very much God loves us.

The peace, comfort, and hope God gave me made me feel like I really was walking in his light; those spiritual blessings were constant reminders that God really did love me. He loved me enough to tuck his Word in my heart so I'd have it when my eyes could no longer read it.

Because God loves us, he lets us know exactly how to have access to him.

It was Scripture that I had hidden in my heart that quickly came to mind when my frustration felt stronger than my faith.

The really beautiful thing about each book of the Bible is that you can find God's love through each chapter because God is the author and God is love.

The difference between bitter and better is I.

Our joys will be doubled and our sorrows will be reduced and we will walk our life in community with the body of Christ. When you are with someone else, you are not nearly as willing to give up. So find a friend, be honest and walk together.
