Jeremiah 30:18-19 NRSVue

18Thus says the Lord: I am going to restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwellings; the city shall be rebuilt upon its mound and the citadel set on its rightful site. 19Out of them shall come thanksgiving and the sound of merrymakers. I will make them many, and they shall not be few; I will make them honored, and they shall not be disdained.


Further reflection

The words of Jeremiah remind me that God has a plan for me, a vision for my growth, a desire that I thrive. I take time to let God look on me and I allow my heart to be lifted.


I consider how the reading mentions hope, gratitude and joy. Where do I need to make space for these attitudes to be more present in my life?
