Therefore, I am going to persuade her, lead her to the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her. Hosea 2:14 (CSB)
We fear the wilderness, but sometimes it is the very place where God’s tender love fills in all of our cracked and broken parts.
In the beautiful and barren wilderness, vulnerability takes courage. We open ourselves up to the possibility of being hurt as we learn to share appropriately and build trust.
When is it especially hard for you to be vulnerable?
What has your experience been in the wilderness? How did God speak tenderly to you there in that space?
