Gentle Pathways: Allured Into the Wilderness
Hosea 2:14-15a "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope."
Reflection Theme:
This devotional explores God's gentle pursuit of our hearts, how He uses wilderness seasons for intimate conversation, and His power to transform places of trouble into doorways of hope.
Journaling Questions:
