Jeremiah 1:9-11 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” The word of the LORD came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” “I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied. I see this uprooting is happening in my spirit first. Lord uproot the bitterness and tear down the anger, destroy the guilt and overthrow the shame in my heart so that I might build and plant love and peace and patience and selfcontrol. I am listening and I respond to your call. You have appointed me over nations and kingdoms to uproot and restore. The word of the LORD came to me: "what do you see Jennifer?"
Each day there is something I hold on to. A place in the past, fear of the future, uncertainty. It is impossible for me to move in fear. I can only move in courage. This is a place that I hope to drop fear, guilt and shame into the abyss, knowing that I am healing.
