My rhetorical questions sometimes aren't entirely rhetorical. Some of these questions are just asked to broaden my view and perspective of God's love toward me and His children.

What happened to/in between Hosea and Gomer was that which happens without human design or forethought.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children...
Ephesians 5:1

If He doesn't relent to run after the sinful and unfaithful, why should I? If He doesn't relent to run after the sinful and unfaithful, I shouldn't relent also to run to Him who is sinless and faithful.
