The Lord says, “My compassion grows warm and tender. I will not execute my fierce anger.” Hosea 11:8-9 RSV

How can I gain access to God the Father’s heart? It is closed to the self-righteous, to the high and mighty, to the proud, to those who feel intellectually superior. But it is wide open to the humble, to the broken-hearted, to those who grieve over their sins. Upon them He pours out the abundance of His merciful love. The Father is calling you to go this way, so that He can reveal His heart to you and you can taste His loving-kindness.

“You have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your offenses. I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remember your sins no more.” Isaiah 43, 24-25

No-one has ever been so grieved and offended by sin as God. Yet no human being has ever uttered such words of infinite mercy to the offenders as God has done.
 
In response to His compassion towards us sinful beings, God is expecting of us that we are also merciful to one another. Be merciful to your neighbour if he hurts you, so that God’s mercy towards you will not turn to wrath, as in the parable of the unforgiving servant (see Matthew 18:21-34).

The Father never forgets those who suffer. They remind Him of His only-begotten Son in His sufferings. This is why the Father’s heart is drawn to them in His infinite, compassionate love. Believe this.
