It's nice to be wanted

Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the clans of the house of Israel. Thus says the Lord : "What wrong did your fathers find in me that they went far from me, and went after worthlessness, and became worthless? (Jeremiah 2:4, 5 ESV)

This, to me, seems like such an intimate question.  It's the kind of question a friend asks to another friend when they are seeking relationship advise or still reeling from a break up.  When we find ourselves rejected by others, we feel this same kind of rejection and hurt, though we often count ourself as worthless and not the offending party.  God already knows the answer...I'm just glad that He cares and wants to understand...it's nice to be wanted.
