Bible Verse for the Week

This is what he says in the book of Hosea:

“The people who were not mine
I will call ‘My People.’
The nation that I did not love
I will call ‘My Beloved.’
And in the very place where they were told, ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called the children of the living God.”

Romans 9 verses 25 and 26
