The prophet Hosea shared the painful story of a spouse who has been mistreated by their unfaithful and inconsiderate spouse. Not only was this the story of God and an unfaithful people of Israel, it is the story of a God who continues to pursue a people who reject their Lord. This God also offers hope and a future when the unfaithful spouse seeks repentance. Even though God was rejected, Yahweh still reached out to seek hope, reconciliation, and relationship...even though it brought pain to the creator of the world.
