That’s a key point. You make it sound as if they were left on their own, which I infer from your mentioning that they had to fight for the rain and nutrients. Didn’t anyone help them along the way?

I think that your reflection is missing the part about how it happened. Was it an individual, or a few individuals, who helped? How did they help? What I’m getting from your “wait and see” approach is that it all just happened. And although I am not discounting God’s grace, because without it nothing would have happened, who were Jesus’ hands and feet that helped this induvidual, and in what way did they do so?

So important that we continue to offer others love and support despite the weeds.
Thank you.

Your reflection points out just one more message of hope an persistence…one that often is easier to dismiss and start over. Thank you Julie. May God Bless.

The voice of the Lord through Jeremiah talks alot to the Christians and the Church of today.
Otherwise I thank for the elaboration because we have to *wait and see* what God has planted in us.
Blessings to you all.

Please pray for my son and all youths struggling to break free of the weeds around them. God bless you and your household.
