經文: 「耶和華還是愛他們。」(何西阿書三：1)

弟兄姐妹們，回首前塵，細數往事，我們不禁要揚聲讚美主恩！上帝一路帶領先民經過曠野荒原，用雲柱、火柱做他們開路先鋒，沿途雖無水喝，也無糧吃，但上帝卻使磐石裂水，天降嗎哪，使他們得飽足；然而以色列民卻仍怨聲載道，惦記在埃及的美味肉食，上帝仍以無比的寬容，忍耐他們的忘恩無情，使他們四十年飄流的日子，衣履無損，水糧無缺，這豈不是恩典與奇蹟？
<BR> 再想想，當年你身陷絕境，求助無門時，上帝又是如何施恩典，用大能的手將你救拔出來？喔，上帝不但用寶血洗淨，赦免我們一切的罪愆，祂的杖、祂的竿更是引領、管教我們。回顧所來之徑，使我們信心倍增，知道祂在未來要賜下的愛與恩典，較之往日，是有過之而無不及，那曾經揀選我們、愛我們的、必愛我們到底。
<BR> 祂是創始成終的上帝，祂是首先的，也是末後的。所以，你雖經過死蔭的幽谷，也不怕遭害，因為祂與你同在。當你站在約旦河的冰冷河水中，也不用害怕，因為即使死亡也無法將祂與你分開。當你進入永恆的奧秘中，也無需膽戰心驚，因為無論是生、是死、是天使，是掌權的，是現在的事，或將來的事，都無法將我們與上帝的愛隔開。（羅八：38、39）真的是如此，當我們靜思默想「上帝仍然愛我們」，我們的心就要在我們胸中沸騰燃燒，且渴望愛祂更多。

Scripture: "The love of the Lord."(Hosea 3:1)

Believer, look back through all thine experience, and think of the way whereby the Lord thy God has led thee in the wilderness, and how he hath fed and clothed thee every day—how he hath borne with thine ill manners—how he hath put up with all thy murmurings, and all thy longings after the flesh-pots of Egypt—how he has opened the rock to supply thee, and fed thee with manna that came down from heaven. Think of how his grace has been sufficient for thee in all thy troubles—how his blood has been a pardon to thee in all thy sins—how his rod and his staff have comforted thee. When thou hast thus looked back upon the love of the Lord, then let faith survey his love in the future, for remember that Christ's covenant and blood have something more in them than the past. He who has loved thee and pardoned thee, shall never cease to love and pardon. He is Alpha, and he shall be Omega also: he is first, and he shall be last. Therefore, bethink thee, when thou shalt pass through the valley of the shadow of death, thou needest fear no evil, for he is with thee. When thou shalt stand in the cold floods of Jordan, thou needest not fear, for death cannot separate thee from his love; and when thou shalt come into the mysteries of eternity thou needest not tremble, "For I am persuaded, that neither death; nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Now, soul, is not thy love refreshed? Does not this make thee love Jesus? Doth not a flight through illimitable plains of the ether of love inflame thy heart and compel thee to delight thyself in the Lord thy God? Surely as we meditate on "the love of the Lord," our hearts burn within us, and we long to love him more.
