Jeremiah was young, faithful to God, purpose-driven, and at times uncertain of his abilities. He fought injustice and darkness. Amid the darkness, he spoke truth and offered hope for those who sought God. His mission came at significant personal cost, but his calling came from God and gave him strength 12 to endure. During this Lenten season many of us are weary from the events of the last year. We faced hardships, disappointments, losses, injustices, and trials. Despite these trials, we can place our hope in God to help guide us and give us the strength to endure. While our circumstances may continue to be difficult for some time, we can trust that if we seek God, God promises to guide us, forgive our transgressions, and love and pursue us in a way that only a heavenly parent can pursue a beloved son or daughter. During what feels like a draught season, with God's guidance, we can bear fruit.
