Thank you for this quote and for using it in this context. I've been reading Jeremiah and Ezekiel for the past few weeks, so the apparent incomprehensibility of God's plans for human societies, and the use of folks we wouldn't exactly call virtuous becoming God's agents to bring people out of idolatry and into faith—all of this has been on my mind. And these sentences from Jeremiah remained close to my heart: "I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle" (10:23-10:24, NLT). Be gentle with us all, Lord.
