Jeremiah 12:2-3 KJV
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
God looked at the hearts of some of them and found that though their mouths spoke of the Lord, their affections and their lifestyle did not match their words. Many are the people who would like to be associated with all that is positive about being a believer but who have no intention toward the commitments that are a part of the genuine faith.
But there is another sort of people. They are those who are known of the Lord. He has seen that through the most difficult of trials they will still move toward the Lord. Those trials, far from pushing them away from God tend to pull them closer and closer toward Him.
