Reflecting on Hosea and Gomer’s Story in the bible. Reminds me of God’s Relentless Love for His creation. It speaks greatly about His Faithful character, His unconditional love, and His commitment. When you read the words in the book of Hosea; God speaks about the children of Israel as a wife. He states that they have been unfaithful as Gomer was unfaithful to Hosea. The language that God uses is one of Jealously for His people, because He desires to have us for Himself. To share His treasured people is not an option in God’s eye. Their unfaithfulness not only means a barrier between Him and us, but also eternal death. God knows what the return is for disobedience and rebellion and that is death. We die spiritually and naturally in this life and the one to come. God constantly woo’s/draws His people back to Him with a strong love and passion. With the desire in His mind to return all to Him, and to not lose any. Gomer’s response is a common one today; It’s one of ignorance about her identity, (who she is) her value, (what she is worth) her creator, ( who she belongs to) and what that all means for her life.
I realized that once I grabbed a hold of what God is to me, (My creator, My Father) who I am to Him (His daughter, His treasure) My value(Jesus Christ death and resurrection). It change my life forever! I don’t have to live in shadow of my parents who were addicted to drugs; an abusive earthly father. My past doesn’t define who I am today’ I’m created for God pleasure. I have a purpose and a God destiny. I can make it! Once we realize our value then we can stop running to other things, places, and people. Those things will no longer rule our lives. We will no longer be slaves to unrighteousness. We can walk in totally freedom in God. Walking with all authority over the works of the enemy, overcoming because Christ overcame.
So in response to God relentless love. Respond in repentance, obedience and willingness to follow after Him passionately.
