Gomer

I just listened to part one of Mike Bickle's teaching on "The Divine Romance: The Book of Hosea," and I was struck by one phrase (well, more than just one, but this really hit me). If you don't know the story of Hosea, God called him as a prophet to marry a harlot named Gomer in order to show Himself as a Bridegroom to the human race for the first time in history. In speaking of Hosea's calling as a prophet to the nation of Israel Mike said, "God didn't say, 'Go endure her.' He says, 'Go and love this woman... Give your whole being to her like I am to Israel...' He called this man to embody the message."

What is man that You are mindful of him? What is man that You love him this way?
