For those of you who don't know the story it's basically this:
God is sad because Israel has once again turned against him.
Hosea, a Prophet is choosen to demonstrate God's love in an interesting experiment. God finds him a prostitute (Gomer) to marry, this turns the heads of the self righteous israelites. They have one child together, but before this can turn into "Pretty Woman" Gomer starts sleeping around. gets pregnant twice and eventually is captured buy some bad guys and sold into slavery. Hosea, has come to love her and takes her back again and again. Even to the point of hunting her down and buying her out of slavery.
This was all to show how much God loves us. Hosea knew all the stuff Gomer did and yet was willing to take her back even if she didn't feel she deserved it. God does the same for us He knows all of our short comings and is always ready to take us back and help us work through our problems and put away our sin.
