Redeeming Love

I just read a book by this title that was, simply put, disarmingly moving. I started it last night and couldn't put it down until I finished it at 5:30 this morning, something my eyelids have never allowed me to do before. It's essentially a very long parable, based on the story of Hosea, that delves into the depths of the Father's love..."How Deep the Father's Love For Us" is this book, at least for me.

It's one of those books that is not about to leave your brain just because you got to last page...it's giving me a lot to feel and think on. I would say it's also given me a lot to be reminded of, except that in spite of what I've grown up hearing and even experiencing, I'm not sure I've ever seen it/felt it quite in this vein before.

Here's to getting closer to understanding and embracing what the Father offers..
