Hosea

"go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes." Hosea 3:1

So i had an urge to read Hosea this month, and I honestly had no idea of what it was about. I only read the first few chapters, but already im excited because it has such a deep meaning. But here's an analogy for you: Just as Hosea loved Gomer, God loves us.

So many times, we fail to realize the depth of God's love. we turn away from him and place other priorities in our lives, not realizing that God is doing all the backstage action that we don't see. Hosea loved Gomer and continued to care for her, even though she didn't deserve any of it. God uses Hosea's love to represent his love for us-- or the Israelites. We are so undeserving, but yet we still receive God's love through his grace. I am so undeserving, yet he loves me. THAT alone is a blessing above all blessings. And I am truly thankful.
