God’s heart is lamenting: “For my people have done two evil things: They have forsaken me, the Fountain of living waters; and they have built for themselves broken cisterns that can’t hold water!” Jeremiah 2:13 TLB – “But when you had eaten and were satisfied, then you became proud and forgot me.” Hosea 13:6 TLB
 
God the Father is seeking people who will listen to the lament of His heart. The Father’s pain can only be relieved through the love of His children. We express our love for Him when we shed tears of repentance, when we trust Him, when we are willing to be true children of His – obedient, humble and dependent upon Him. God is waiting. Again and again He asks us to love Him. Who would want to hurt and disappoint His heart of love?
