Today's reading from Prophet Jeremiah 31:3
'With age-old love i have loved you;
so i have kept my mercy toward you.'

God says to us-
"Come. You always have a welcome with me. I forgive you. I believe in your goodness.
I will wait for you to grow and change and while i do, i accept you with all my heart... "
