The Cords Of a Man

                                           Hosea 11:4
                         "I draw them with cords of a man,
                                      with bonds of love:"

        When Israel was weak and helpless as children, and foolish as children are, God stepped in because He loved them.  God cared for them as a nurse does a new born child.  He nourished them, took pains with them, as a father, a mother and teacher while they were in the wilderness.
        All who are grown up ought to reflect upon the goodness of God to them in their childhood.  God was with us in ways we will never know.  As we grew older our parents and church taught us God's commandments.  Once you have heard "The Gospel Of Jesus Christ," "The Holy Spirit will draw your soul to Jesus Christ.  God's love is through His son "Jesus Christ," for God gave His son for our sin's; "Christ paid our sin debt on "The Cross."
        God has done many wonderful things for His Children.  He does this because He loves us so much.  Israel would turn away from God when things didn't go their way, and my friends it is no different with Christians today.  Yes Christians fail God every day because of weakness; "You as a Believer, Myself as a Minister as well as others through out God's Church.  We may stumble because we are not perfect, but let us not fall away from our loving God.
        The human affections in which all man share,  is the feelings which even the poorest, meanest, and even the ignorant partake in, the pity, tenderness, and the love that can only be called forth by love.  These are the cords by which our God draws Us.  "The Cords Of A Man." 
        Amen!!
