**Jeremiah 2:21** — *"I had planted you like a choice vine from the very best seed. How could you turn yourself before Me into a rotten, wild vine?"*
The grief here is unmistakable. God does not speak as a distant judge — He speaks as a vinedresser who chose the seed carefully, prepared the soil, and watched something beloved go wrong.
This is not a verse about failure. It is a verse about *origin*. Before the wandering, there was a planting. Before the rotten fruit, there was *the very best seed*.
That means drift is never the whole story. The Shepherd who planted you has not forgotten what He placed in you — covenant faithfulness, purpose, the imprint of His own design.
Israel forgot its source. We often do the same — not through one great rebellion, but through small, quiet turns away from the Vine.
Walk with the One who remembers what He planted in you.
