As some of you have seen my team got to go to an orphanage here In Vietnam. You also might have seen that there was a little girl who stole my heart. I always connect with kids and want to take them home, because God has given me a heart for them. This little girl was different though it hurt to leave her, I felt like I was abandoning her. I even gave her a name, Anna-bell Marie. This reminded me of the story of Hosea. God asked him to marry a prositute named Gomer so he did. Hosea loved her and kept his marriage vows to her but Gomer did not. She was unfaithful to Hosea several times. Hosea was wounded by this and God told him this is how I feel because my people have strayed away from me. They worship idols and do not live their lives for me. God wanted to show Gomer love through Hosea, but he also wanted Hosea to understand how he felt so he could be used to bring his people back to him. No I am not Hosea and I don’t truly understand how God feels when his children dont choose him, but I do feel like I got a little taste of what God feels. I don’t know if we can truly understand how much God loves us or how much he hurts when his children don’t choose him. It is not always easy to love People. I know that I am not always easy to love Just simply because I am human but I know God loves me and everyone else on earth. We have done many differnt ministries on our trip, but some of my most memorable moments is just sitting with people even if we can’t communicate, they remind me that there is no formal way to lead someone to Jesus. One of the ways that speaks the loudest is love!
