Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…you must not be a prostitute…”
(Hosea 3:3)

Well, duh, Jesus.

That’s kind of a standing rule, isn’t it?

Why would Hosea say this to his wife?

It was because You told him to take her back, wasn’t it?
Even though she’d been unfaithful to him.

Broken laws need to be restated.

Am I in violation of any of Your commands, LORD?
If so, please tell me again

and in Your great mercy
give me another chance to obey.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and about a homer and a lethek of barley.”
(Hosea 3:2)

What kind of man would buy a woman, Jesus?

One who did it because You told him to.

Why did she have to be bought?

Because she was a prostitute.

Why would you tell him to buy such a woman?

Because she was his wife

and having sold myself into sin
that’s what You had to do for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“None who go to her return…”
(Proverbs 2:19)

You’re talking about people who go to prostitutes, Jesus.

By saying they don’t return
You’re saying such a person is never the same again.

There’s something about violating the sanctity of marriage

that does lasting damage to the person who pays for it
and the person who sells it.

But there’s also something about repentance

that leads to forgiveness
that results in life-change

that gives Your broken people
a fresh start.
