In Hosea, the name Lo-Ammi—“Not My People”—showed Israel’s broken relationship with God. For the boy, such a name likely brought shame and confusion in a culture where names carried meaning. But God’s grace is clear when He changes the name to Ammi—“My People.” This shift shows that our worth isn’t based on our failures but on God’s love. In Christ, we too move from outsiders to members of God’s family. Worldly success can’t give us true identity, but belonging to God does. The story reminds us to rest in His grace and live as His dearly loved children.
