" I will go and return..."

Hedge up my way, bring up the thorns
And Build a wall that I might run no more
Toward death and lovers that have no breath
Or love or power to give me rest

I find it amazing that God uses the very thorns that come up because of my sin to block my way, hedge me up, and bring me back to Himself.

Hosea 2:6
6 Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns,
and I will build a wall against her,
so that she cannot find her paths.
7 She shall pursue her lovers
but not overtake them,
and she shall seek them
but shall not find them.
Then she shall say,
‘I will go and return to my first husband,
for it was better for me then than now.’
