So today I read in Hosea. The book is pretty much about how Hosea leaves her husband and commits adultery and comes back asking for forgiveness. Her husband went to God and asked Him what we should do. God tells him to take her back and love her. She does this numerous times and every time he goes to God asking what he should do and every time God tells him to take her back and love her. I think the reason why she keeps doing it over and over again is because she knows he will take her back and love her everytime.
- I look at this story and I think its the same with us and God. We leave Him over and over again doing our daily/natural sins and yet we always come back to God and he always takes us back in and He always loves us. I look at my life and how this story pertains to me or what motives does my life represent in the story?
-My motives are in the WRONG spot. I always used to go back to God because I know He will always take me back and love me. I am kind of taking advantage or manipulating the thought. I should not do that by any means. I need to go to God with my sins because I am thankful to have Him in my life and that He does love me no matter what.You should maybe even take a look at your motives why are why not you go to God after you leave Him.
Wow, that's huge! Why are we returning to God? If it is simply because we know that God is love and that He'll forgive us, what a shallow relationship we have with Him.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, if it's not just that God forgives us, it must be that we have an awesome and intimate relationship with Him (which is what He actually desires) and we can't stand being away from such an awesome God because life sucks without Him.
