God loves us all and would like everybody to be saved. If you've had a difficult life, remember it could have been worse. With your faith and the helping hands of God life can be much sweeter and better. Ladies and gentlemen, whether you have parented a single child, several children, or none at all, I'd venture to say you've never had to endure such harsh and unpleasant life-choices that are about to be presented here for your attention.
To set the scene, let's open with the trials and troubles of Jerusalem's population, around 586 BC. That city was suffering from the divine, though totally justified, judgment of God. All of which was predicted by Jeremiah. Possibly, he might have been the author of the book of Lamentations, documenting the misery and mourning recorded therein. Let's begin there with an ugly narration from chapter 4, verse 10, where the New King James Version displays a rather grotesque truth quite plainly. "The hands of the compassionate women have cooked their own children; they became food for them in the destruction of the daughter of my people." What a horribly sad commentary about people starving for food and seemingly lacking all hope under the dark and dangerous shadows of the wrath of God.
