God's love for thousands

Hefty reading today!  I must admit, I edited the reading plan slightly, so today's reading in Jeremiah is 32-36, then 37-39, 40-43, 44-46, 47-49, and then we're back on track.

Depending on the way you read Jeremiah 32:18, you might think, well, that's not right that God punishes the children for the sins of the father; God doesn't seem so nice.  But, if you take another look at the verse, you can see that, indeed, God is love.  Sure, he may punish two generations for sins, but he will extend his love to thousands!  His love goes further than his discipline, although his discipline, as unpleasant as it is, shows his love as well.
