Sacrifice

I don't think humans can really totally understand sacrifice. But I think that true love can be evidenced when sacrifice is present. Although I don't really understand the story in Hosea, where God compares Isreal to Hosea's wife with the cheatin heart. He tells Hosea to take her back and to love her the way he loves Isreal. I don't know if I could do that. But love truly does forgive all things, it sees potential beyond the present, it hopes beyond anything we can ever understand. God must get frustrated with our lack of omnipotence, we need things explained really slowly, and then we might just get parts of it.
