In this episode we’ll talk about the last half of the Book of Jeremiah in addition to the Book of Lamentations. We’ll discuss how the people of Israel did not heed Jeremiah’s warnings, which ultimately led to their destruction. Yet after they continued in their wickedness and absolutely rejected the Lord, they were yet promised forgiveness if they repented. We’ll talk about the power of forgiveness and how withholding forgiveness can negatively impact mental health. We’ll also talk about how the Lord has commanded us to forgive, not so much for the effect it has on others, but for the ways in which it helps us grow and find greater happiness and peace.
