Hosea 11 God's Revealing Love God Himself is a fountain of unconditional Love. God is hurt when we disregard His love. THE DISCIPLINING LOVE OF GOD THE FATHER When we follow our own counsel, God will discipline us as His children. THE FORGIVING LOVE OF GOD THE FATHER Because God is a compassionate God, He forgives His errant children and cast their sins into the depths of the sea. THE RESTORING LOVE OF GOD THE FATHER God’s ultimate message to us is one of glory rather than doom.
