Raining Righteousness - Hosea 10:12
Sow righteousness for yourselves and reap faithful love; break up your unplowed ground. It is time to seek the Lord until he comes and sends righteousness on you like the rain. Hosea 10:12 Out of Darkness I believe in Jesus. He called me out of the darkness into His glorious light. Amazing love! Because of that, I can sow righteousness. It's not about being self-righteous. Any righteousness I live out comes from the one true God because He rescued me from death and destruction. And so I can sow. Now, I get to reap faithful love. What? I get to! Faithful love. What is that? That is love that doesn't shy at the moment things get hard or ugly. He keeps loving. Now the next part of the verse is parallel to the first statement. Break up your ground, plow it.

He gives me the grace
