Thank you for these words. So often pain is disguised as anger but it can be a cry to be heard and loved. Thank you for revealing the hope in this passage.
This is so well said and so healing and freeing for a person who might need to pour out their rage. When asked what my favorite book was in a creative writing class I said Jeremiah. What a great story of a man’s interactions with God. Thank you for your wise words.
“The pain of Jeremiah’s sorrows has made his heart sick”. So his angry cries of vengeance are like the eschar and purulence of a foul wound needing debridement. This is the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.

I meet a lot of homeless people through my congregation and this hit home as a very encouraging word, reinforcing my hope and convictions.
