the pain of unrequited love is a pain that has been spared from few, including our savior. hosea's words ring a little too close to home when he says that she "went after her lovers, but me she forgot." we serve a god who says if you seek me first i will give you everything you want, and i continue to chase after lovers. he desires a people with minds undivided, but yet, how often do my thoughts return to his goodness? he gave nothing short of everything, and still i find it incredibly easy to have him be the one thing that i won't sacrifice for. it's very humbling to serve a god who cares. it's written all over. he constantly pursues, forever accepts, and eternally longs...for me.
