“Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stir up your lovers against you, those you turned away from in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side—

“So I will put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not imitate you. 49You will suffer the penalty for your lewdness and bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.”

“ ‘Now your impurity is lewdness. Because I tried to cleanse you but you would not be cleansed from your impurity, you will not be clean again until my wrath against you has subsided.

14“ ‘I the Lord have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back; I will not have pity, nor will I relent. You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions, declares the Sovereign Lord.’ ”

Lord God my Father,

Show me how to simplify my heart and only have Love for you. Show me how to love others as you designed it without my desires reshaping it to serve me. Help me to be restored, understanding I am a sinner, but show me how to look past my sin nature to your nature. I want my passion to be in you so I may love louder than the hate so it is noticed by the deceived. Your judgment is welcome even if it caused difficult times for the struggles reveal the wisdom and strength I need to keep my emotions in check.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
