Ties of Love

Name Date

Read the Story

God loved Israel like a parent loves a child. He taught them to walk. He held them by the arms. He bent down and fed them.

But Israel turned away from God. God was sad. He said He could not give them up! One day they would come back like birds flying home.

Memory Verse

“I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.”

Hosea 11:4 (WEB)
