There is no greater book in the Bible that reveals the heart of God, than that of Hosea. The prophet begins by revealing to us how hurt and angry God is with his people. He is torn between wanting to punish them for their unfaithfulness and restoring them because of his great love for them. God shows his great love for his people, comparing himself to a husband whose wife has committed adultery, using this image as a metaphor for the covenant between God and Israel. Ultimately it is a book of hope, and God can be trusted to win back the love of his people despite a less than promising start.
