"True love hurts…”
There's this prophet in the Bible named Hosea. The Lord told him to go and marry a wife who is unfaithful and have children with her. Hosea obeyed God without questions. Now, this woman is very unfaithful to the bone and is hurting Hosea again and again, but still, Hosea, with his true love for her wife and his true love for God, keeps accepting her again and again even more.
That story hurts, right?
But do you know that Jesus was like Hosea, and we are his wife?
We are unfaithful.
We are stubborn.
We keep hurting Jesus.
But Jesus will always accept us, time and time again, because of his true love for us. He even paid the price of our sins on the cross, just for redemption, and so we will finally be united with him for eternity if we accept Him and believe Him.
The Lord loves you and accepts you no matter what you did in the past, present, or even in the future. His love for you is timeless. This is your time to get back on track with God. Accept him, believe him, ask for His forgiveness, and live for him until the time that we go back home in his arms.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness." - Jeremiah 31:3
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9
