MY
HEART WITHIN ME IS OVERWHELMED
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading: “I was like someone lifting an infant to his
cheek …my heart within me is overwhelmed..” (Hosea 11:1…9)
Reflection. This is one of the most
tender moments in the Bible. The prophet has spent many words on the faults of
Israel and how the people have strayed.
But now he expresses the abiding love of God for his people. At times a
parent will have to be firm with their child but soon after they will show their
love and longing to forgive. Hosea shows us the heart of God in whose image we are made.
Prayer. Lord, help us to learn of you for
you are gentle and humble of heart and we shall find rest for our weariness in
you.. Amen
