Love is like the dew.

Our love for God is like the morning clouds or the fleeting dew (Hos. 6:4).

Just as the morning clouds and dew disappear after a short while,

our love for God is brief and momentary.

Therefore, instead of offering God what He desires—love and knowledge of Him—

we offer Him what we desire—sacrifices and burnt offerings.

In spite of this, God loves us with an everlasting love that never fades away.

It is indeed by His grace.
