Hosea, A Story of Grace

I think one of the most unique books in the Bible is Hosea. On the surface, it's just a story about a prophet, Hosea, and his wife, who is a prostitute named Gomer. This may sound like a really weird thing to put in the Bible, but it's really an amazing picture of our up-and-down relationship with God. Just as Gomer unfaithfully cheats on Hosea constantly even after the marriage, we keep messing up and sinning against God. The middle of the book has angry words from God, but in the end, we are all reminded that God loves us no matter what. 

I will heal their waywardness and love them freely,  for my anger has turned away from them.... His splendor will be like an olive tree,  his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon. People will dwell again in his shade;  they will flourish like the grain, they will blossom like the vine. -Hosea 14:4, 6-7

Here's a song by David Crowder Band called How He Loves. The lyrics that stand out most to me are "If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking". Praying that you may all feel God's unfailing love and grace!
