Sermon: You don’t like it, but I love it
Scriptures: Jeremiah 29:1-32
“You don’t like it, but I love it” is a common saying used by young people. They may love it on you or love it for you, but they would never select your choice.
The Children of Israel neglected their first love (God). They practiced idolatry and listened to false prophets. God sent them into exile, Babylonian Captivity, for seventy years. They didn’t like it, but he loved it. Where God placed them wasn’t punishment, but preparation.
God knew the plans that he had for the Children of Israel. God instructed the prophet Jeremiah to write a letter to the Israelite captives exiled in Babylon. God instructed the Israelite captives to build houses, plant gardens, get married, and have children. The Israelite captives learned to become comfortable in Babylon.
God is a God of Purpose. He is up to something with us. He knows the plans that he has for us. What has happened to us or what we are dealing with is not punishment, but preparation. We don’t like it, but God loves it. He will use it to grow us and develop us.
