chesed

2/3/10 What really lasts? Good looks, money, fame? Bodies, memories, careers? No, they all pass away. I don't mean this meditation to be a downer (although it is cold and rainy outside, and somewhat depressing inside as well).

My breath prayer comes from Psalm 138:8 which has some good news for me today, and hopefully for you. "The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever." Steadfast love in Hebrew is "chesed." It can mean loving-kindness, covenant love, God's love. This is what lasts forever.

Love (chesed),
Lynn
