Long Suffering

Jeremiah 15:15 :You understand, O'Lord; remember me and care for me. Avenge me on my persecutors. You are long-suffering - do not take me away; think of how I suffer reproach for your sake."

Jeremiah is prophesing.

I picked this verse because when I read, "You are long-suffering" my heart pulled. I love the verse in itself but what I felt meant most was just the fact of seeing God's Heart in it. God suffers long. I believe we as a people are quick to forget. In our selfishness we put our needs before the Father's and in so we neglect Him. How He must hurt, He suffer longs.

"Father I care about you. Open my heart & teach me to care for you"
