Lenten Devotions in Hard Economic Times

THIRTY-THIRD DAY OF LENT 
                MARCH 26
  
 Psalm 118: 1b 
 
 
 
God’s steadfast love endures forever.
 
Forever.
 
God’s love endures,
Carries on,
Over time and changing circumstance,
Persists,
Despite wimpiness and whining,
Keeps on going,
Beyond disillusionment or discouragement,
God’s love endures,
Forever.
 
Unwavering,
Unfaltering,
Supporting the hesitant headway of humankind,
Remaining firm beneath the erosion of our faithfulness,
Unswerving  in pursuit of our well-being,
Unyielding flame of compassion,
Never stifled by our iciest aloofness.
Never quelled by the blanket of blanket indifference.
 
God’s love endures,
Love endures,
Forever.
