I have been listening to Brooke Frasers album Albertine a lot lately, and one of the songs is called ‘Hosea’s Wife’ and it has really been speaking to me. So I decided to read the book of Hosea to get a better overall picture.
The book of Hosea is one of my favourite books in the bible because it is one of the greatest stories of undeserved love -between Hosea (a prophet of God) and his wife (a prostitute). And it just happens to also mirror the love of our God even though we prostitute ourselves to the ways of the world.
As I read Hosea’s story, where God tells him to find a prostitute to marry, yet when he does and hey marry, she continues in her ways. It breaks my heart to think what he would have been goig through, especially when God him to take His wife back.
The humiliation he must have felt walking in to buy back what was already his in the first place. The thought of his wife sharing intimacy with other men. But he still took her back as his own.
