Loved as God's children

Hosea 11:1-7
When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. But the more I called Israel the further they went from me.
It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; but they did not realize it was I who healed them.
I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love; I lifted the yoke from their neck and bent down to feed them.
My people are determined to turn from me. Even if they call to the Most High, he will by no means(決不) exalt them.
This chapter lets us see right into the infinitely loving parent-heart of God. All down the long years of history, from Egypt on, and despite all he has done for them, Israel has rejected God's love.
The nation deserves no mercy.
Why?
How dear the Lord has loved Israel, but Israel did not realized Him, by no means exalt the Most High, so Ephraim deserve no mercy.
God loves me, so I would not forget his mercy and greatness.
God called his son out of Egypt, its also means called his son Jesus Christ, for the first son is failed. But God's love is endless love to his sons.
How?
How do I response to the love of the Lord to me?
