Hosea 11:8-11
How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I...
My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused.
For I am god, and not man - the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath.
They will follow the Lord; he will roar like a lion. When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.
Yet God still shrinks(收縮) from destroying them. He is torn between love and justice, neither of which can be denied. This is the pain he took to himself in the cross of Christ.
Admah and Zebolim: Two cities to the south of the Dead Sea, presumably destroyed with Sodom and Gomorrah.
Why?
For He is God, not man so God is full of compassion then man, not only angry and justice, but full of compassion.
God is loving us, and loves me, how can I forget the Lord's mercy and compassion?
How?
Can I understand the love of the Lord? I will do my best to love God, to feedback his mercy.
