Tell me the story often!

    If you were to look at the former posts, you will get the idea I am trying to draw the reader back to the amazing love of Jesus as he took my place on that cross. I just want to say it again. He died for me,   of all people, me. I wish I could express myself properly. But I am glad I can't, because if I were able to fully comprehend and describe His love than it would not be infinite.
   Jesus loves me. Jesus loves you. He did it all. Repeat! Emphasis! Stand up on your chair if you have to just to emphasize this incredible wow!

Still He forgives!

    Hosea chapters 1 and 3 are absolutely amazing, mind-blowing chapters. God tells Hosea to go and marry a harlot to show how He has bonded Himself to the kingdom of Judah even though Judah has acted like a prostitute in going after other gods. So Hosea obeys and takes Gomer the harlot to be his wife. Now in the wedding ceremony I am sure Gomer promised him to be his and only his. But by chapter 3 she has gone and God is telling Hosea to go and find her and take her back. So Hosea goes and buys her back and says to her she must not go after other men and he will be her husband and love her. God told Hosea to do this to demonstrate His love for Judah and that He wants Judah back.
    Wow! What a story. I am just like Gomer. I promised God when I gave my life to Him that I am all His. Many times I sing, "I surrender all" and I really mean it from the bottom of my heart. Yet, a few days later I find myself going after something else, or saying, "God, this is mine." Wow, still He forgives me. Still He goes out searching for me and pleading with me to come back. Still He loves me. What a God! Hallelujah, what a Saviour! His love for me is overwhelming. I must keep reminding myself of this if I want to love Him more. My God is amazing!
