”Therefore, I will now persuade her,
and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.
From there I will give her her vineyards,
and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she shall respond as in the days of her youth,
as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
And I will take you for my wife for ever; I will take you for my wife
in righteousness and in justice,
in steadfast love, and in mercy.
I will take you for my wife in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord.”
Hosea 2: 14-15, 19-20
”Thank you for finding me when you did.
You changed my life. Now I believe that love is all
that I ever need.
I promise my heart and all that I am, that I am yours forever,
my love”
