These works came from reading the book of Jeremiah over and over again for over a year. I have been learning so much what it means to weep, what it means that we have a God who weeps, who FEELS. God chooses this sensitive poet to witness so much pain. He knew what kind of heart he had. God chose him as a young boy and he would see such things in 40 years. The Assyrian empire would fall, Babylon would rise, the good kings and the bad kings would make their mark. The world was overcome by lust for power, territory and pleasure. Jeremiah cries into the void: remember the orphan! The widow! The oppressed!
Jeremiah has become a beloved friend to me. He tells me to keep steady, keep praying, keep speaking into the injustice and darkness but don’t look away.
God says, “I’m faithful.” and Jeremiah stays faithful.
