God himself has a love song to sing. It’s a love song about his people. Like many love songs, there are desires and heartbreak. 

God sang a love song about his people and began with his desires for them. In the first two verses of Isaiah chapter 5, the love song begins with how God planted them like a vineyard with all the provisions for them to be fruitful. 

But instead of fruitfulness, he found wild grapes. God wanted the fruits of justice and righteousness, but he saw bloodshed and heard an outcry. 

Like many love songs, heartbreak seems to be the dominant theme. God’s desires were crushed with heartbreak. He tried to bring restoration, but there was no response. 

Finally, God had to do the unthinkable. He called for the nations to come. He opened them up to their enemies to come and take them away as exiles. God determined that this “separation” was necessary to restore their love and relationship.
