More Love

So today was sweet! I went to church with my mom, and it was great to have some bonding time. In church, we learned about love. I love learning about love. The good Samaritan story was used as an example of how we should love one another. The pastor also went through the 1st Corinthians verse and how it is sometimes hard to love by being patient and kind, etc. Then he proceeded to say how God loves us so much that he sent his only son to die for us... which is now a little bit ironic since that's what we talked about at the Campus Ministry church!

I really really loved the sermon at church tonight. It definitely had a little twist in it haha. I thought we were going to be talking about weddings? something like that? John started to talk about weddings and the book Hosea. Well let me explain. Hosea got a message from God to marry Gomer, a prostitute. Basically, Hosea followed God's word and married her, even though she was a prostitute. They had a child together. Then Gomer began to be unfaithful to Hosea. They were still married but Hosea didn't live with Gomer anymore, and she went back to being a prostitute. God told Hosea to go back and tell Gomer that he loves her and to give everything to get her back, and he obeyed. He took her back. I thought this was the end of the sermon. But it wasn't. HA. John continued to say how we as people are Gomer, and God is Hosea. We sin all the time and we disobey God's word in some way every day. However, God loves us so much that he sent his ONLY son to die for us. Just like Hosea, he gave everything he had because he loves us. I thought that was really awesome.

It was a good day :)

"The Lord said to me, "Go, show your love to your wife again"... So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and about a homer and a lethek of barley. Then I told her, "You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will live with you." Hosea 3:1-3
