A Kindness That Does Not End

📝Reflection

The Hebrew hesed means an unchanging, faithful love. The poet sings that though all in the world changes, a certain goodness carries on for generations. We feel anxious because everything sways — people, circumstances, health all change. In such a world, the belief that even one thing does "not change" lays a firm floor beneath the feet. I always staked my heart on changing things and was shaken. But one who keeps a foot planted on something unchanging — whether a principle or an old love — does not fall when the rest shakes.
