The Divine Signs...

I read Hosea and all I can say is this... though I have been through a lot I couldn't do that. Marry a prostitute, have my kids named after 3 curses, all of those said children from different fathers DURING OUR MARRIAGE and then woo  and charm her back into a love relationship.

But this isn't us... these passages are never about me, my soul's infidelity, nope, it's about someone else, has to be. If that's the case then when will we enjoy the promises and restoration... the good, assuming we can come clean. Because we need to see God as this:
 14 "Therefore I am now going to allure her;
       I will lead her into the desert
       and speak tenderly to her.
 15 There I will give her back her vineyards,
       and will make the Valley of Achor [a] a door of hope.
       There she will sing [b] as in the days of her youth,
       as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
 16 "In that day," declares the LORD,
       "you will call me 'my husband';
       you will no longer call me 'my master. [c

We see God as a master, which he is, but he now also calls us beloved.

Just a quick thought.
