COME BACK TO ME


29 March 2019


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.
