"Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?"
Jeremiah 2:21
I like the imagery here, that God planted us, and he knows what he planted, and we are trying to become something else... basically poisoning ourselves as in verse 19 "Thine own wickedness shall correct thee" and "see that it is an evil thing and bitter" ... God shows us who we are when we try to become something we are not, and seeing that evil in ourselves can help us to change.
Today, let's remember that the Lord knows who we are and who we should be. He knows our potential. He knows that we are more than this. Let's repent and follow him, and learn from him how to become our better selves. As we work with him and trust in his divine assistance, we can be restored to better lives, better natures, and again become that noble vine. :)
