Life of Hosea

Imagine u as a successful righteous man married to a prostitute or a flirticious wife... while shes your wife she continue to flirt and sleep with other man... until one day she decide to elope with another man and abandon you... well that happened to a person in the bible called Hosea who is one of the prophet of God in the old testements... God commanded Hosea to marry a prostitute... i guess Hosea at that time was thinking... "God are u mad?"... well in the end he obeyed and married her and the first few lines happened... in the end Gomer which is the name of the wife got cheated by the man she eloped with and the man sold her to a slavery market to be a slave... one day Hosea was in town and while he is walking on the streets he saw Gomer his wife again... as he walked towards her... she hid herself away from him... when Hosea stands right in front of her... she told him that she is not worthy for him as she is guilty of what she has done... but Hosea redeemed her from the slave market and bring her home and clothe her with the best clothes and fed her with the best food and take her as his wife again and loved her for the rest of his life...

Well this story is also similar to the parable of the prodigal son in the gospel in the new testement... the above story is a symbol of Israel time and time again sin against God... but in the end God still forgive them and accept them.... everytime i hear the story of Hosea.. i feel so touched... is like wow.... what a wonderful husband.... even when the wife is so unfaithful he still love her... well in the modern days i feel quite sad when ppl just a little dispute between husband and wife.... the common word that utter out of thier mouths ruthlessly was Divorce... another thing that i felt from the story was acceptance... which make me think that many ppl in this world is looking for acceptance... everything they do just to gain acceptance affirmation and assurance... a lot of times i wanted to blog about Hosea as he always reminds me of God unconditonal Love... but somehow i didn't do it... shall blog it now haha... yeah... somehow felt inspired too =)
