Illogical Love

I think it is safe to say, God's love's is illogical. As illustrated in the story of Hosea and Gomer, God shows his love to us, even though He fully knows we will not always be faithful to Him. That is illogical! But it is wonderful!

Can we honestly say, there is any good reason, based on our talents, abilities, pedigree, education, personality, or any other human factor, why God should love us? Why would God commit himself to us when He knew would not always be faithful to Him? Would you choose a mate, who, going in, you know will not be faithful to you, will betray your love, and leave you for others? Would you choose a mate who, going in, you know will not be thankful for what you do and give, the love and support you show?

Yet God loves us in such an amazing way. The only answer to any of the questions above is that God's love is illogical when contrasted to human love. But aren't you thankful that it is?
