Day 228: Jer 15:1 - 18:22

It's always reassuring to get to the part in a group of judgment verses when we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. We see in the middle of this passage that although God will let His children be punished and let them pay for their wrongdoings, He will always keep an eye on the ones who still love Him. It seems to me that perhaps there are alot of believers out there who have seen the filth and trouble that our society has gotten itself into and they've just decided to give up on account that God is going to punish our nation and we'll all have to pay even if we didn't do anything wrong. I completely disagree with that. I don't believe for one second that our God is incapable of distinguishing between His children and those who have turned their backs on Him. We have seen time and time again that we serve a God of redemption and if we will come back to Him, He will welcome us with open arms because whether we realize it or not, He was always right there waiting for us to return.

- Father, help me to be able to communicate Your grace and mercy to those in need. Help me to be able to show others that serving You is not hopeless. You are a merciful God and if we will turn to You, You will turn to us and heal us. -
