Tough Love



The LORD replied, "When the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines, the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands? But you have forsaken me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you. Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble!"

Judges 10:11-14


In Judges 10, The Israelites repented genuinely for the first time in this book.


God unconditionally loves us, even if it is hard, He chose to discipline His children.
