00:00What if the person who betrayed you was the very person God asked you to love again?
00:06This is the story of Hosea and Gomer.
00:10Hosea was a prophet whose marriage became a powerful message from God.
00:16His wife, Gomer, had been unfaithful and left him.
00:21But God commanded Hosea to love her again.
00:25And in Hosea chapter 3, the prophet did something extraordinary.
00:30He went and bought Gomer back, paying a price to redeem her.
00:36The woman who had abandoned him was welcomed back.
00:40Their story was more than a marriage.
00:43It was a picture of God's love for Israel, a people who repeatedly turned away from him.
00:50Yet despite their betrayal, God continued to call them back.
00:55Hosea's story reminds us that even when love is wounded, forgiveness can open the door to restoration.
01:03Because sometimes, the greatest act of love is choosing to forgive.
01:08And when love is wounded, it's not a man who is wounded.
01:08And when love is wounded, it's not a man who is wounded.
01:08And when love is wounded, it's not a man who is wounded.
01:09And when love is wounded, it's not a man who is wounded.
