To some, the relationship means nothing. The excitement, emotion and thrill is gone. They will intentionally never give or receive a gesture of love on Valentine or any other day... Soon a friend asks; "How's that relationship going?" To hear the answer; "It's gone."
Throughout the Bible and centuries, it has been the same for God's people. We "fall in and out" of Love with Him, often being unfaithful.
God told Hosea in the Bible to marry a woman that would be unfaithful. The amazing thing is not that Hosea obeyed but that he did come to love her! "How could a guy love someone who is continually unfaithful? It seems impossible and crazy." The correct question is; "How could a Holy God, love and forgive a people that were always unfaithful to Him?"
Hosea's wife finally left and while he looked and looked for her (as God often looks for you and I), he found her. She had ended up at the slave table. "Stop. Leave her alone! That is my wife I shouldn't have to buy her but...How much does she cost?" Oh God, is that what you did for me? While we were unfaithful and breaking your heart breaking our relationship. We ended up on the Devil's slave table and you paid a great price.
God says in Chapter two; "And it shall be in that day, That you will call me my Husband and no longer call me my master." At the end of Hosea; "I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely......."

A man from the crowed yelled: "Hey Jesus, What's the greatest commandment?" "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all soul, with all your mind and with all your strength."
Let today be the day you decide to commit to following and loving Christ!
Remember GOD IS LOVE!
