"Speak this word to them:
"'Let my eyes overflow with tears
night and day without ceasing;
for my virgin daughter--my people--
has suffered a grievous wound,
a crushing blow.
Jeremiah 14:17
I'm amazed again at God's choice of words to describe his people... his virgin daughter. In reality the one thing the absolutely were not and that is what they were going into captivity for. However, when God looks at his people he ONLY sees what he intended, his dreams for them, who they can still become! It is my tendency when looking at my life either the things I've been through or sins I've committed, to think that somehow I can never quite get where God wants me. I think that I am limited.. I will always be less because of those things. But I'm wrong and very excited about that!! In God's eyes the dream never dies!! God always holds out the potential for us to become everything he intended... nothing I do limits the possibility in his eyes!
