#soap # Jeremiah 24 ## Title: God Never Gives Up On Us ## Scripture: (Jeremiah 24:6-7) “I will look after their welfare and will restore them to this land. There I will build them up and will not tear them down. I will plant them firmly in the land and will not uproot them. I will give them the desire to acknowledge that I am the Lord. I will be their God, and they will be my people. For they will wholeheartedly return to me.’” (NET) ## Observation: Imagine someone constantly and consistently attacked everything you did. Imagine they constantly smeared your name on social media and ignored you in public. Imagine they attacked your friends and children. I would bet you would not be their friend and would not be hoping they found peace. You would likely enjoy watching them get a little payback. However, God is not like that. Imagine who God is saying the amazing words to in the passage above. These people are refusing to turn from their wicked ways yet He still talks about how He is willing to love them. Even while they are experiencing the punishment they have brought upon themselves, they have not lost God’s love and attention. Did you know God feels the same way about you? ## Application: Turn to God with your whole heart and watch what His amazing love can do. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always receiving us back.
