Bringin' the Word

I spoke about Hosea and Gomer at Club on Monday. This is an Incredible Love Story! God told the prophet Hosea that he wanted him to marry Gomer, an adulterous woman. Seriously? I mean, can you imagine? I remember being in Costa Rica in the summer of 2006 for two months and feeling like God was molding my heart to marry Taylor. How EXCITING!!! Taylor is nuthin' like Gomer! Was Hosea excited?

Hosea did marry Gomer and she ends up having affairs on Hosea. But guess what? Hosea keeps accepting her back! What in the ... Gomer has 3 kids. One is believed to be Hoseas. The other two? No Idea. Some random guys or two... This sounds like 2008, but it was written 700 B.C. Hosea's love for Gomer was Faithful. Unending. Constant.

Do you see the Big Picture? You are Gomer! I am Gomer! We are ALL Gomer! God is Hosea. WE are the Adulterous Bride! We have turned our backs on God and are chasing the things of this world. But His Love is Faithful. Unending. Constant! WoW... Wrap your mind around that one today. Gomer ends up selling herself into slavery or prostitution and Hosea goes and BUYS HER BACK! His OWN Wife! Can you imagine? And God does that same thing. He buys US back. Even when we don't want to be bought back. He Forgives Us. Even when we don't want to be Forgiven.

That's God's Love! That's the kind of Love that surpasses All Understanding... Do YOU know this Love today? Are you living in this Love today? Does your Spouse / Family experience this Love today?

On another note, the bird feeder is still adding lots of entertainment. Doves are coming from all over town to eat at our feeder. There is a Cardinal that frequents the feeder daily. I saw a red-headed wood pecker (I named him Woody ... I know, it's Cheesy!) today. Now those birds amaze me. Got Advil?

This is a bootleg pic of our bird feeder and a Red Wing Black Bird goin' to town
