Then I said, ‘How I long to make you My sons and give you a desirable land, the most beautiful inheritance of all the nations!’ I thought you would call Me ‘Father’ and never turn away from following Me. (Jeremiah 3:19)

In context, Jeremiah was speaking to a people who were living in rebellion and turning away from God. Yet even in their unfaithfulness, we see God’s heart toward His people. He speaks with the heart of a Father who desires His people to be close to Him as His children. This longing is ultimately fulfilled through Christ. Because of the sacrifice of Jesus, anyone who believes in Him can come to the Father. Through faith in Jesus, we are born into the family of God and adopted as His children. Remember, God is your loving Father, and He deeply loves you. ~ Jeff M Newman
