We Are Hosea's Wife

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; 

because you have rejected knowledge, 

I reject you from being a priest to me. 

And since you have forgotten the law of your God, 

I also will forget your children."

Hosea 4:6

 As of late, reading Hosea has really broken my already burdened heart. How long and intentionally I have been turning away from God who is most high? How terrifying the thought to be rejected by the most beautiful being in existence.. How are people calling themselves Christians and still living just as those who claim what we believe in is false? Then it gets me to think back to even a few years ago where I thought I was alive but was in fact still living as sinful as ever. Just an ounce of this pain is such agony for me, and I wonder if this is only a glimpse of what He feels towards those who consider themselves a so-called "Christian".. Or how He felt towards me?

The verse mentioned above clearly states rejecting knowledge is rejecting the Lord Himself.. Even just 50 years ago, the current "evangelical gospel" was nowhere found in the Bible. Is not the road a narrow one? I don't think anyone can grasp the enormity of a God who hangs the world on nothing and still chooses to love such flawed creations such as ourselves. May I continue to seek, may I continue to knock upon the truth that is given to me.. and may the Living One be gracious, to this broken vessel, to answer it.
