Listen to Pastor Nick read the Firestarter and the day’s passage.
Marriage is the most intimate of relationships; that is how the Lord wants to embrace the people. Our Israelite ancestors were continually unfaithful. As a jolt to the people, God commands faithful Hosea, the prophet, to take a prostitute as a wife. His unfaithful wife is God’s way of confronting our ancestors with their infidelity.
The Lord longs to marry you in fidelity and love. Nothing less than total intimacy is God’s desire. At this very moment, God wants to refashion your soul-pain. What symbol does God use for you as energy to draw you closer to the Lord?
To love is to be poured out. The Holy Spirit was poured out, as Jesus’s blood was shed for you. “Till death do us part?” Not for Jesus … His death means life and union for you!
