This reading teaches us about the Love and Forgiveness of God, our Lord.
How many times are parents disobeyed by their children? The answer is frequently. Love for our children and forgiveness for their actions is a lesson for them in the present and an awakening for the future.
Parents love their children as God, our Lord, loves us despite our mistakes and behavior.
Both Love and Forgiveness are two significant concepts within our Christian tradition. Love and Forgiveness build our humanistic and moral values, which help us become complete citizens.
As Christians, we should never forget to love even when circumstances or people fail us. Love is the path to modify wrongdoing, to understand that there are open doors and that is a step to finding justice and peace. God loves us unconditionally and He always forgives us, regardless of our sins as it is expressed in this reading:
"I will heal their defection, says the LORD,
I will love them freely..."
The Love of God is a way to grow and blossom as a human being. Thus, we should love like God does with an open heart, without question and we should be prepared to forgive.
Forgiveness brings people together in harmony and peace. Why? Because to Forgive is to reflect on another’s wrong behavior, all the while giving us an opportunity to accept, change, and free ourselves into the Love of God.
During this period of reflection and awakening, it is important to think about how we can demonstrate our love for each other, how we should love without expecting anything in return and how to be open to the lessons that love teaches us.

Love conquers all. Jesus demonstrated that by His death for our sins and His resurrection which guarantees our eternal life. John F. Longo 61.
