I will heal their apostasy; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon; his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon.Hosea 14:4-6 (ESV)
This is how God loves us, He didn’t say in the Bible that our blessings will only come from material possessions. He is the ‘dew’ in our lives, watering and nurturing us from within, so we can grow like a tree, benefiting people around us with our leaves, flowers, fruits, branches and canopies. If we are being entangled by bushes and thorns, it will be temporary as we can always rely on Christ to get us out of troubles in life. This is how God loves us.
Father God, we thank You for helping Hong Kong to fight Covid-19 and that our normal routines are gradually resuming. Help us to keep a good practice in de-cluttering our heart and daily schedule. Purify us, so we can be refreshed, be spiritually revived and be abundant and generous enough to give love and life to those around us. In Jesus name, Amen.
