The Rabbi

Jeremiah, I wonder too why God would seem to waste His time with us, an always unrepentant people. Who is he who does the Lord’s will? Who has submitted his heart unto God? Perhaps the most miraculous thing would be to make dirt reflection of His glory. But in transferring His name to we who are unworthy. So God’s light becomes His dark side? Maybe mercy of God then comes from something greater… because if too often soiled with sin, it seems to become unmerciful. Jeremiah, how does it feel to know your message is not heeded? Does God cry? I would that His people would pour out tears of heartache when they can no longer feel the presence of Yhwh their God… but who cries like that anymore?
It would seem Yhwh chose too young a bride if she did not know her own betrayal. Yet after all He had done, after all He had shown, what more was there to give in order to persuade? Is love destined to bottomlessly pour itself out, be misunderstood and crushed by an ignorant and unfeeling people? How much does God cry?
May we not in our quest for stability silence our God in our hearts by giving them over to like idols as Israel. Or perhaps we already have. May our doctrine remain as flexible and determinable as the One who speaks the Living Word. God gives us what we ask for many times multiplied… be merciful upon my ignorant heart, Adonai Elohanu; place within me the very Spirit which produces the requests after Your heart’s desires. All glory be to Your Name. I will still believe- may that translate into obedience.

Rabbi Jeremiah, are you a God-appointed heretic?

I have not read any amount of poetry. I don't enjoy trying to figure things out. This poems tells me that one can have a strained relationship with God as well as others.
