Jeremiah's love for God was so extreme, so vocal, so visible, and so was his love for his people and Jerusalem, the beloved city. He is known as the weeping prophet so hard did he love.
And for all his preaching, and proclaiming God's word, the majority of people failed in returning to God and being saved.
Jeremiah held nothing back from them. The truth was before them and in their ears every time they saw the prophet or heard him preach. They refused to hear the truth.
Do you have people you weep over because you've been telling them about God and His desire to save them, yet they continue to rebel against God?
Don't give up on them. God wants them saved and He will draw people to Himself through our faith and obedience to pray and trust.
Our love for God is our motivation to keep telling the people we love that we want them saved and with us forever in eternity.
Love suffers long, and is kind;
Love does not envy;
Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
Love does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
