I will love them freely. Hosea 14:4 This sentence is a body of divinity in miniature. He who understands its meaning is a theologian, and he who can dive into its fulness is a true master in Christianity. It is a condensation of the glorious message of salvation which was delivered to us in Christ Jesus our Redeemer. The text is a death-blow to all sorts of illness: We complain, Lord, my heart is so hard. Remember, the softening of spirit is not a condition, for there are no conditions; when He said, He that believeth on Me is not condemned. It is blessed to know that the grace of God is free to us at all times, without preparation, without fitness, without money, and without price! I will love them freely. These words invite backsliders to return: indeed, the text was specially written for such—I will heal their backsliding; I will love them freely. Backslider! surely the generosity of the promise will at once break your heart, and you will return, and seek your injured Fathers face. Morning and Evening.
