Lent 2009: Day 11

A Lenten Journey through the Spiritual Alphabet
Psalm 119, Sustainable Love

Vau (part 1)
Let your love come to me, LORD,
salvation in accord with your promise.
Let me answer my taunters with a word,
for I trust in your word.
Do not take the word of truth from my mouth,
for in your edicts is my hope.
I will keep your teachings always,
for all time and forever.
*****
Your Word is delicious!
Just a taste satisfies like nothing else can.
It reproduces itself, so the amount is unlimited,
and can be enjoyed
and shared with everyone who needs it.

It is the one-word answer You give me to give my taunters
Real and imagined...my internal reminders of regrets, fears, shames, and abuses.

What is the one-word answer?
Love.

“I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” ( John 6.51)
