COME LET US RETURN!


Hosea 6:1 - ' Come let us return to the Lord...'


The call of God to Israel to return to Him lies at the very heart of God as a Father.  God desired for Israel to know the depths of His love for her and sadly, in her rebellion, Israel never fully understood or embraced that love.  What of us today?  As His sons and daughters, Jesus reveals God to us as Abba, literally meaning 'Daddy' or 'Papa'.  Our Daddy longs dearly for us to embrace the fullness of this love and it is out of this passionate longing that He still continues to draw us to return to Him in intimacy as His children.


  • Pray for God restore our desire for intimacy with Him.
  • Pray that we'll receive a deeper revelation of who God is, His Father's heart, His unconditional love and His very character of LOVE towards us.
  • Pray that we will be set free from every mindset, perception or inclination that hinders us from FREELY receiving the Father's love over us - living from a deep assurance that He does not require us to earn His love.
  • Pray that we will embrace with our whole being, the truth of God's love for us, and that we will open ourselves more fully to His heart concerning us.  Let us come back to that place of intimate relationship with Him.
