Hos 3:1
Then said
the Lord unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an
adulteress, according to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel,….”
The Lord Loves the Unfaithful
“According
to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel…” is quite the
description given to Hosea in telling him how to love this woman. Our God’s great love is a love that we must
measure all our love against. Time and time
again, God’s people would leave Him and run after other gods and other sources
of strength and yet, the Lord would pursue them with a jealous love. Our God’s love is faithful even when we are
faithless. Our God’s love is
committed even when we are compromising. Our God’s love is steadfast even when
we are distracted. The love He has for
us is rooted in who He is and not in whom we are. He is the loving Lord who
pursues us with His love. Let us learn
this love, give this love and enjoy this love.
He is love.
