Dear God,
I hate my mom. She is so stupid and mean. I should
just call her by her name, Gomer, instead of Mom, but I know that's
disrespectful. Dad tries to just keep on being nice to her, but he's so
blinded. She doesn't love him (Hosea 1:2) He says he will do whatever it takes
with her (3:1-3). He says really mom is like our whole nation. That we all
treat You the way mom treats him. But I just can't handle it anymore. And if I
wasn't insecure enough with having a run away mom they also named me
Lo-Ruhamah! Who names their daughter "not loved" (Hosea 1:6)!?! It's
like people have a bad image of me in their head right from the start. But dad
says that even that is a picture of our nation Israel. That because they are so
horrible You are taking Your love from it. Am I horrible? Is that why I got
this name?
I think You are a God of mercy. Dad says that You
"desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgement of God rather than
burnt offerings (Hosea 6:6). He says he has to have mercy on mom even though
she doesn't deserve it, because that's what You do. Is it true? Why is life so
bad if You are good? Why does my dad have to be a
prophet? You ask the craziest things!
