We seldom hear from those who are really suffering. So let
Jeremiah speak up for them:
“The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond
words. I will never forget this awful time as I grieve over my loss.
Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:
‘The unfailing love of the Lord never ends! By His mercies we
have been kept from complete destruction.
Great is Thy faithfulness. His mercies begin afresh each day.
I will say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore I
will hope in Him.”
The LORD is wonderfully good to those who wait for Him and
seek Him.’
So what is the best thing I can do for the many migrants moving
into this city? I teach them English, show friendship, help with citizenship as
a matter of Christian compassion. Their stories of suffering are extreme.
Ultimately I want them to find security, safety and fulfillment in knowing the LORD
God of Jeremiah! He, in His faithfulness has brought me through tough times and
I delight to say to Him: ‘Great is Your
faithfulness”
