But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’ [Jeremiah 30:17]
Israel had been infamous for continually sinning against God over and over again, even after God repeatedly showed His great mercy over them. And in the end, the Lord still promised to heal them of their damages, physical for the individuals and social for the nation.
You may feel that you have let God down over and over and over again, and God won't show grace and mercy to you. Guess what? He still does, and now does it with an even greater, magnanimous measure, as He promises to heal you on the basis of Jesus' wounds. (Isaiah 53:5)
There is hope for the hopeless. His name is Jesus.
