Hosea 7
I long to redeem, v13
Posted on a lamp post was a lost dog sign. There was a big cash reward for whoever found the lost dog, and a description of the dog. It said:
“He’s only got three legs, he’s blind in the left eye, he’s missing a right ear, his tail has been broken off, he was neutered accidentally by a fence—ouch!—he’s almost deaf, and he answers by the name ‘Lucky.'”
That dog isn’t lucky, he’s a walking disaster dog, one thing after another, bumps and scrapes, accidents and attacks.
The dog isn’t lucky but it is loved for there is an owner who wants him back.
You’ve been through some scrapes, battered, bruised, messed up a bit. You are are duct of your past. Sinner and sinned against. But Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so ….
He wants you back. He loves you and He loves to redeem.


I reckon the dog is lucky he has such a loving owner!
