His righteousness and tremendous love
Hosea 2:6, "For this reason (rebellion against Jesus) I will fence her in with thornbushes. I will block her path with a wall to make her lose her way."
2:14 "But then I will win her back once again. I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her there."
All blessings and the things I see very important or meaningful may disappear at once when I turn my face away and do what I desire without considering His feeling. His punishments shows His dual paradoxical natures: Righteouness and Love (only those He loves receive His penalty). Moreover, the punishments are always followed by His unconditional forgiveness and tender loving care.
Dear Lord, I would not behave myself mainly due to horror towards You, rather, due to caring how You feel since ...
You have regarded me as your intimate friend.
Thank you Lord.
