Pembacaan Alkitab: Hosea 12-14
Sekali lagi Tuhan menyampaikan isi hatinya melalui nabi-nabinya. Dari Yesaya, Yeremia, Yehezkiel, Daniel, Hosea dan banyak lagi nabi-nabi yang telah diutus-Nya untuk menegur Israel dan membuat mereka bertobat. Ia telah berjanji sejak awalnya kepada nenek moyang mereka Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub untuk menjaga, memberikan kelimpahan, tanah perjanjian yang akan mereka tinggali asalkan mereka hidup sesuai dengan apa yang diperintahkan-Nya. Tetapi sayangnya makin lama bukannya makin baik dan bertobat, banyak dari Israel yang makin lama makin memberontak terhadap Tuhan. Tetapi walaupun demikian Tuhan tetap mengingatkan mereka dan memberikan kesempatan untuk bertobat dan berbalik kepada Tuhan. Inilah kasih anug'rah dan belas kasihan Tuhan kita. Bila kita telah mengalami kasih, anug'rah dan belas kasihan Tuhan, biarlah kita juga selalu bersikap setia kepada-Nya dan juga berlaku penuh kasih dan belas kasihan terhadap orang lain. Sebab Tuhan tidak memilih kasih hanya mengasihi beberapa orang saja, tetapi kita yang mau menerima kasih-Nya akan menjadi contoh bagi orang-orang lain yang belum mau agar merekapun melihat kasih dan belas kasihan Tuhan melalui kehidupan kita dan juga mau mengalami kasih, anug'rah dan belas kasihan Tuhan. Jadi, biarlah kita hdup setia, di dalam kasih dan belas kasihan dan bagikanlah itu kepada orang-orang di sekitar kita agar merekapun dapat berbalik kepada Tuhan dan hidup di dalam kasih, anug'rah dan belas kasihan Tuhan.

Bible Reading: Hosea 12-14
Once more the Lord poured out His heart through His prophets. From Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel Hosea and many more prophets whom He has sent to rebuke Israel so that they would repent. He has promised since the beginning to tehri forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to take care, to supply in abundance, promised land for them to inherit as long as they lived according to His commandments. Unfortunately they did not become better but many Israelites became more rebellious to the Lord. Even so, the Lord still reminded them and gave them chances to repent and come back to the Lord. This is the grace and mercy of our Lord. If we have experience the love, grace and mercy of the Lord, let us also always be faithful to Him and also act in love and mercy towards others. For the Lord does not perform favouritism by only loving some people, but us who wants to receive His love will become examples for others who have not yet experience so that they would see the love and mercy of the Lord through our lives and would also want to experience the love, grace and mercy of God. So, let us live faithfully and in love and mercy and share it to others around us so that they too may come back to the Lord and live in the love, grace and mercy of God.
