Taking up a burden

Lam. 3 [The Message]

In absorbing Jeremiah’s lament, its clear to me that he felt pain for the sinful condition of Go[s people. This association with the nation’s condition put his emotions into an accurate frame of reference when he declared God’s messages to them. 

If we love our country, maybe we should also take up a lament for the moral and spiritual decline we see all around us. If we don’t, WHO WILL?
