12/1/11 My breath prayer for the day is one of my favorite verses and comes from Psalm 85:10, "Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other." Steadfast love in Hebrew is chesed, which is covenant love, God's fierce love for us. Faithfulness is God's trustworthiness. Righteousness is right relationships, not merely keeping the law. Peace in Hebrew is shalom, not just the abscence of war, but a sense of wholeness, completeness, centeredness, no matter the outward circumstances. Imagining all of these coming together, meeting, kissing. What a combination! Maybe this is what happens in the coming of Christ.
Love,
Lynn
