Renewal

After finishing Amos, I realized that the prophets speak out about a lot of doom and gloom, but they usually end in restoration and renewal for the people of God.  God's love for us is so strong that he will care for us and restore us even after we commit grievous sins.  While a lot of the prophets' audiences seemed to be stuck on the imminent judgment, we can look back and see how God worked through that to restore Israel time and again.  God truly does have unconditional love for his people.
