chesed

11/3/10 My breath prayer today comes from Psalm 145:8, a line that is repeated several times in our Bible, "The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love." My perfectionism can really get me down. I see how far short I fall to be loving toward God and toward others. Thank God, literally, thank God, that God loves us with a love that will not let us go, that will not give up, a covenant love, a steadfast love. The word in Hebrew for this kind of love is chesed.

Love,
Lynn
