Normal people scare me

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.

She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.

And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.

To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.

I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?

Then I realized I was the wife.

I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.

And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”

He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”

That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.

He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.

Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.

Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.

The cross was Him naming the price.

Praise the Lord.

@Jollz @wascolee, one of the reasons I refused to answer your question the other day.

@MedNorms My understanding is that it is borne of two problems. People with a poor working knowledge of English change the word "refer" to "reject". The next problem is how our doctors handle the referral process. The level of dismissal sometimes feels like an outright rejection.

Alcohol is so socially accepted with the great risks it carries.

@Dee_sagacious Hello there. The race is not for the swift. You will very quickly find out that the number of resits or repeats does not matter outside med school. By the grace of God, you will pass your exams and go on to do great things. Do not be afraid and do not worry.

Being naturally gifted and never having to learn just to go up the academic ladder to realise you need to learn to learn.
