Today we begin a new adventure through the book of Malachi and the very  first statement God makes to His children is, "I have loved you." We  discover though, the heart of the people have a blazing question they  will not ask, and that is, "In what way have you loved us?" God reveals  the initial answer today in a revelation between Jacob and Esau.  Alongside understanding the issues behind Israel's question we shall  learn what the term, Malachi, means as well as the word "burden" and  "hated". All very important things to receive today as we begin our  decent into God's heart for His people (for us today)!!!
