Or so?

With divorce rates climbing over 50%, I ask myself, what is happening to this generation? I see how America’s marriages are being torn apart from cheating husbands and unfaithful wives; then I look to see how our relationship with God is? Like in book of Hosea, it showed how the Hosea the prophet radically loved his wife even through the numerous affairs and deceptions she provided abundantly to her husband. Hosea still treasured her and loved her. Similarly, I feel that yet we are a generation nearing divorce, yet God is still calling us to repent, to come back to Him, with arms wide open and a divine hug to gives us. As I was typing this, I looked out the window in my bedroom, and I saw the sun setting. 76 degrees, partly cloudy, 8:29 PM, I gazed at the pinkish clouds and the sky falling into a majestic purple. I was in awe of God’s beauty, authority, and His radiant love. To be honest, I find myself daily, choosing another task, and leaving God empty handed. Thinking back, I saw how God continuously blessed me even when I cursed Him. Seeing how He never gave up hope on me though I gave up faith in Him. Looking back, I am in just amazement in how God is daily, left behind in all our agendas and yet He still loves us and calls us to a place of repentance. Like Hosea’s wife committing adultery, here we are, waking up and deciding we’re too tired to go to church, when there He was; having 7 inch nails being brutally put through his wrists. And I wonder, how much longer should we continue this, cheating on God should I say? Jesus Christ is not only our Heavenly Father, not only our personal Savior, but He’s also our Bridegroom, our Lover, our dangerous, compassionate, good, Lover. Jesus not only died for our sins, but He also died so we could know and have a relationship with the King of kings, Prince of peace, the Great Counselor, and God Almighty. With Independence Day coming and the fireworks popping over everywhere, I see how America the country has it’s patriotism for our freedom and our rights. Still on that subject, I look how we got there? How many hours George Washington and his troops stood in the bitter cold and just praying to God to save them from the British? Who was the One that gave birth to this country, and delivered us from a vicious king? And then I remember, oh yeah, it was He, Jesus. Yahweh, Jehovah, Messiah, Christ, it was He who was the one who gave us the victories when all the odds were against us. It was He who never gave up Hope in us, all when we gave up hope on each other. Yes, it was who? Jesus. Getting back to the roots of our country, I see how we drastically drifted and forgot who created those miracles which got us her in the first place, who gave birth to us, who loved us in such an extreme radical way that He offered His only son to pay for our transgressions, and I come back to this name, Jesus. Jesus.. wow. Oh Jesus. It was You.
