Hosea 3:1-5, Deuteronomy 24:1, Jeremiah 30:9

God wants us to know that He loves us with all His heart. He shows time after time that he would go the extra mile to seek us. Hosea represents how God pursues us even though we go in the opposite direction. He desires us until he finds us and repurchases us. He repurchased us with the sacrifice of Jesus at the cross. He is a saving, rescuer, and loving God willing to take the extra step for us.

Gomer here represents the people of Israel and us who wander off wishing to find love like God's in other people, but only God can provide us with this solid and permanent love. He seeks after us until we are found.
