That's right I am a prostitute and its Biblical.
Last night as I began my quiet time I felt as thought I should begin to read the Book of Hosea. It hit me last night that I have never read the enter book, I've only refrenced it and took bits and pieces of it.
As I am reading Hosea chapter 1, God tells Hosea to go and marry a prostitute...I WAS LIKE WHAT? God seriously, you want this guy to marry a prostitute, somethings not right here. This is a woman who is unfaithful, unloveable, and just not the best choice of a woman. Definately not a Proverbs 31 woman.
I must admit I was a little confused at this instruction from God but I read on. And as I read on I discovered that God wanted Hosea to marry this woman to show the nation of Israel that they are living in Prostitution. You see I too am a prostitute. According to one dictionary's definition prostitution is the act or an instance of offering or devoting one's talent to an unworthy use or cause.
Israel was being unfaithful to God, they weren't living up to His standards. I can honestly say me too. Especially in the area of devoting my entire life, my entire talents, and everything I do to Him. I get busy with the busyness of life, I get caught up in watching tv, listening to my iPod, Blogging, working on stuff, etc.
I am so blessed that God has brought me to where I am right now. Even when your not living up to the standards God has for us, we can still come to Him. Jesus loves us as we are...that's not saying that we don't need to change. Change is a must, but He loves us as we are but loves us more as to what we are becoming in HIM!
