In Vain Have I Smitten


Whom I love, I chastise!

Recall memories of parental discipline

Love calls its own to order

Teaching a child how to grow

What will be said? –

When I child is let go to make mistakes and never learns

Deeper and deeper the quagmire goes

Yet onward, the wanderer astray knows

God told Jeremiah, “…In Vain Have I Smitten…”

Yet in love I chastise in and out of season

Return again to me, saith the Lord

Or how will it be said? –

That in vain loved even our God?!


IN AN ENDLESS TRADITION OF GOD'S WORD AND THE MIRACULOUS!!!
