Jeremiah 31:3b - "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." Years ago, a buddy of mine was struggling in his marriage.  He couldn't compel his wife to be and do what he wanted through the force of his strong personality.  Frustrated, he asked me what I thought he should do.  I passed along to him a very important insight from this verse:  Christ draws us to Him, compels his bride, not by force but with lovingkindness. - Daniel Holser
