Jeremiah 32
Sin does not go unpunished. Yet for those who turn to Jesus and repent...they are also restored.:
James speaks of trials and temptations as producing perseverence...that we see it all for God's glory and our good.
God is righteous and His love for us is infinite...everything He does, including for us specifically, is perfect.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are perfect, Your word is perfect and all that you have done and will do is perfect - I cannot question Your motives. They are based out of love to bring all people to You. I am amazed that You love me and are so patient with me. I am still full of anger, lust, arrogance, etc. Thank You for Your love but please forgive me for this and rid me of this sin. Purify and refine me. Mold me. Make me Yours. Use me.
“This is what the Lord says: As I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will give them all the prosperity I have promised them. v42

“This is what the Lord says: As I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will give them all the prosperity I have promised them. 43 Once more fields will be bought in this land of which you say, ‘It is a desolate waste, without people or animals, for it has been given into the hands of the Babylonians.’ 44 Fields will be bought for silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed and witnessed in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill country, of the western foothills and of the Negev, because I will restore their fortunes, declares the Lord.” v42-44

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-3
