COME BACK TO ME (Hosea 14:2-10)
Hosea, one of the early prophets, calls the people back to God; to
their roots, to the covenant which was the promise of fulfilment, happiness and
peace. This was where they would be at
home. We often speak of ‘centering’
prayer, being still and finding God within; our ‘native’ land is our own
heart. In so far as we ‘come back’ to
ourselves, we discover ourselves for the second time, this time in a new light.
On Sunday we will read the story of the son who left his home, his country and his
religion. He was ‘lost’. But then he says ‘I will arise and go to my
father’. He ‘finds’ himself, a new life
opens up for him. Lent is that call to
us.
