The son of a priest from the small town of Anathoth in Judah, I believe was the writer of Jeremiah. The prophet Jeremiah dictated prophecies from the Lord to his secretary, Baruch. Because of Jeremiah’s lineage, he would have been raised a priest, though no record of his priestly service exists. Instead, God chose this man of undeniable courage to speak to the people. Jeremiah had a God heart and compassion for people. Compassion for the sinner and teaching them Gods true love for them.
I like this poem; it grips the heart gives graceful freedom to the soul.
“On Eagles’ Wings”
Law demands—grace gives.
Law says “do”—grace says “believe.”
Law exacts—grace bestows.
Law says “work”—grace says “rest.”
Law threatens, pronouncing a curse—grace entreats, pronouncing a blessing.
Law says “Do, and thou shalt live”—grace says, “Live, and thou shalt do.”
Law condemns the best man—grace saves the worst man.

“The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.’ “Jeremiah 31:3” Explanation in Jeremiah of The Israelites had been suffering the discipline of God for failure to keep their side of the covenant they have made with him. Jeremiah reminds us of all of God’s “everlasting love.” If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, probably the most important truth for you to never forget is the fact that Jesus loves you. He will always love you because He loves you with an everlasting love.
It reads in Jeremiah 31:3-13, ~
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. I will build you up again, and you, Virgin Israel, will be rebuilt. Again, you will take up your timbrels and go out to dance with the joyful. Again, you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria; the farmers will plant them and enjoy their fruit. There will be a day when watchmen cry out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Come, let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God.’” This is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations. Make your praises heard, and say, ‘LORD, save your people, the remnant of Israel.’ See, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor; a great throng will return. They will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble, because I am Israel’s father, and Ephraim is my firstborn son. “Hear the word of the LORD, you nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: ‘He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’ For the LORD will deliver Jacob and redeem them from the hand of those stronger than they. They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the LORD, the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more. Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
