‚you Duped Me, O Lord‘

'You duped me, O Lord' Jeremiah shouted in the desert. Jeremiah most tender and loving cries out against God. 'You have cheated me. Everyone mocks me. I am an object of laughter. You are too strong for me And you always triumph'. 'I want to go away from God I don't want to be a prophet. I will not speak in God's name anymore'. - - - Love of God is like a burning fire. Burning in the heart and imprisoned in the bones. O God, you are my God whom my soul seeks. For you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts. (context of this poem: Reference: Jeremiah 20: 1-9Holy Bible. Jeremiah the Prophet of the Old Testament in Bible prophesied as he was inspired by God. But he was imprisoned and suffered a lot. Then he cries loud against God at first but comes to God again in love. Jeremiah and Pashhur "When the priest Pashhur son of Immer, the official in charge of the temple of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things, he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin at the LORD's temple." Dedication implies sacrifice. Married people may think of their mutual commitment in love; children and parents, if committed to mutual happiness in the family, may think of their daily living under one roof. Love means giving of self. Self giving is a source of happiness.
