—Jeremiah 29:10-14
by: Jennifer Lewis Berg.
God offered His people of old a promise of renewal and restoration. In spite of great waste and sinfulness, God took joy in a hopeful plan for their future. Once again, He promised to gather His sinful people into a nation and rebuild them. Today God promises each of us forgiveness, acceptance, and love. God chooses us, through Jesus Christ, to be His people. What He asked of Israel, He asks of us too: to call on Him, ask of Him, pray to Him, and seek Him with all of our hearts. He really does want to carry us back to Himself.
