Jeremiah 5

One huge thing stood out to me in this passage. In verse one, God says "If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city." ONE PERSON! You know what that says to me? First, my God truly desires to forgive me, to forgive my family, to forgive my nation, to forgive my world. How amazing! Secondly, my God is unimaginable. Who would ever think to forgive a whole group of people based on the honesty of one person. I can't hardly wrap my mind around that (of course thats how its meant to be. I wouldn't feel too confident about a God I could understand.) Thirdly, ONE PERSON! There are so many stinking people on the planet and this verse is telling me that "I", just one little spec, one little me could make a true difference. What if God, right this second, is looking for ONE person in America, one person "who deals honestly and seeks the truth". Would He see me. Would I be the one who would bring forgiveness to this nation. This really made me stop and think.
