Hosea 1:1–2:1 (ESV)

1 The word of the LORD that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

God’s love is central in his relationship with his people. He is the God who can be disappointed in his children, but yet creates a new beginning. His love overcomes the unfaithfulness of his people. This is encouraging when you, in your own life, sin again and again.
