It’s not you, it’s me… No, it’s you.
and I thought Bert & Ernie were a bit risqué………….
This offends the right-wing republican portion of my brain.
Can this marriage be saved?!?
I say lets get them onto the Oprah show and see what the audience thinks………..
thats so funny, and heartbreakingly sad
Ok the way I interpret this is that it is Jesus “breaking up” with someone. Not that He would ever do that, He does not give up on us, even though sometimes we can give up on Him.
wow…..cuts to the bone….thanks. I agree with Kathy, but took this as a parable and it really made me think…
Just debating whether to put it on powerpoint for the whole church……….on second thoughts, maybe not…some people are already upset with what I do anyway…
i would love to hear how it went over. oh well.
When I was going through my divorce a few years back, someone pointed out to me that God Himself divorced Israel (mentioned somewhere in Jeremiah, I think.) That was a rather startling piece of information for me. It made me wonder what love is, what God really is like, and what “relationship” is all about.
Yes, God started divorce proceedings. Did He ultimately sever Himself from Israel?
No. But it certainly must have been a “Wake Up!” call to them. It was to me.
I agree, Graham – maybe not. Even knowing the symbolism is valid (hard, but definitely valid, as per ttm’s comment about God divorcing Israel) it has been hard for me to even look at it. Your typical church? Not a chance!
I have decided and committed all my life to Jesus, I gave everything to Him, my life is everything about Him. And I can see Jesus is with me through every circumstances, He fights for me and I just have to be still.
and I read this post its just timely when I was so down, I have failed on something. when I read this I was so sad, I thought It maybe happened to me… Don’t you know I really cried at that time “God do you like me, If I like the person in this post will you leave me and never again think about me” I was so sad and sudden something tell me STUPID
How come you think like that, remember what God has done in your life, why you are so STUPID.
He has died for you, how precious you are for HIM. ITS JUST YOUR IMAGINATION. Remember How God helped you in the past, yes you are weak, you did many mistakes, but God STILL loves you, He has paid you with HIS LIFE, HIS BODY, HIS BLOOD, How can He let you go… DON’T BE STUPID.
That made me stop crying !!!
you are right valentine.
Wow… this one’s excellent David.
