In a world that still struggles with so many assaults on love, God continues to abide with us to remind us that God’s love alone will bridge all gaps and heal all wounds. The skeptics among us scoff as they ask how the faithful believe that God is with us when anger and fear stalk the world. The defeated among us cry out to ask how long the faithful will carry the onerous weight of the war and pestilence that takes its dreadful toll. The remnant among us find joy and sing praise as they give their share of the world’s burden to a loving, generous God who converts all harm to good.
We spend time reflecting on the last chapters of this song of God’s love to creation.
Qoph: Redemption of Fallen Sparks – God’s love redeems us although we may not trust it.
Resh: Clarity – God’s grace and mercy are present to us although we may not see it.
Shin: The Eternal Flame – God’s Law of Love is infinite and all-encompassing although we may not count it.
Taw: The Seal of Creation – God’s creation marks us with the sign of love although we may not sense it. It is through this creation that God marks us forever with the mark of Love.
Tomorrow, God’s Love Letter.
