LoveThe ground that hatred has gained will be retaken by love;the losses that we’ve sustainedwill be remembered by love;the tears that we’ve criedwill be wiped away by love;the pain and grief insidewill be healed by love;a world that seems dividedwill be remade by love; this fight is one-sided –the universe was built by loveand it was made to bring us together;love is patient, kind, formidable, invincibleand it’s the only thing that will last forever.Not even death can defeat love.So all of the sorrow and the loneliness,all of the anger and bitternessand confusion and brokennesswill be outflanked, outdone,outmatched and overcomeby love.
Psalm 23 has been a source of strength for thousands of years. Let’s pause and say it every day at 11 am through this crisis we now face.When we are isolated and alone, we remember God is with us; we place our hands in his hands…> The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.When we are tired and confused…> He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters;When we are worn out with worry…> He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.When we are sick and afraid and if we lose those we love…Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff - they comfort me.When we face difficulties today and we hope for a better tomorrow…> You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.In the face of trouble & difficulty of all kinds, we remember Jesus’ promise of life beyond death…> Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
