Of all love, there is one love that stands above all else. In this world in which love has become a very conditional thing given the give way at any moment of discontent or raised temporal passion, covenant love (hesed) is one of loyalty and devotion. It is the love that is the love as love should be.
Covenant (Hesed) by Michael Romani Pausing with purpose and with temerity We reflect on questions of our loyalty All of us deep within God's family Must understand the covenant of integrity God loves us all fully and completely His hesed is felt with deep authority In the keeping of the promises of security The presence of God is kept eternally Sometimes it feels we live life on the run That the Lord has forgotten us; we are undone Sins considered though blinded in our eyes We must keep trust with each passing sunrise God's love is rich in its deep tender mercy Despite our doubts and ill thought out heresy His faithfulness is felt by us all so kindly Even in times of life when things go so badly God is pleased to give His greatest something In return for our bits and pieces of almost nothing Deserving in almost missing out on God's grace Let our scales remove and accept His loving embrace To love forever and without any real end Is a noble endeavor that transcends All the troubles we bravely endure Such is God's hesed, undeserved yet pure This is the good news of the gospel That is the Lord's will not ours that prevails As we wrestle on the life's stormy seas And He delivers us from our aft seeming travesty No one who turns to God is ever turned away We earnestly rest in this promise every day God's hesed promises are eternally given With each and every believing heart forgiven (c) February 19, 2020 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
