With age-old love I have loved you; so I have kept my mercy toward you. (From Jeremiah 31:1-7)

God loves you!  Your sins are forgiven by the infinite mercy of  God!  You will not be forgotten!  You will not be abandoned!  You are loved and you are beautiful in the eyes of the LORD!  The world may throw you curveballs, stress and pain may lie around every corner, work might be intolerable, pain and loss might be the emotions of the day, but despite all of this you are loved by God!  Try and remember this despite all the crap that is going on with schools, work, the pandemic, and with everything else that seems to be in disarray.  You are loved by God and your sins are forgiven, my sisters and brothers in Christ!!!  Does anything else REALLY matter?  Amen!
