A Psalm of David.
O Lord, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy hill? Psalm 15:1
The Psalm goes on to answer that question: the upright, the blameless, the trustworthy. It pretty well leaves out everyone who ever fibbed, envied, or fell short of any standard of behavior, which, of course, excludes most of us, though we try to do what is right.That is where the gospel, good news, comes to our rescue. Y'shua of Nazareth for all time took on our failures, and with his life covered our short-comings. Like him and with him, we enter into the holy places where estrangement dissipates. We do not need to doubt our capacity to live at Love's address. Love loves us already and wants to abide with us. Shalom, Mother BE
