God is longing for us to remove our idols from our lives so we can live in intimacy with Him. Hosea paints a picture of one who is trying to follow Christ but deep down thy have a desire for his or her idols more than they have a desire for God.
You may be going through a job loss, grief of losing a loved one, an addiction, or materialism, but allow the One who longs to redeem set you free from everything else that hinders us from following Him.
Hosea 7:13-14
Woe to them,
because they have strayed from me!
Destruction to them,
because they have rebelled against me!
I long to redeem them
but they speak lies against me.
They do not cry out to me from their hearts
but wail upon their beds.
They gather together for grain and new wine
but turn away from me.
