I have this page saved to my Home Screen given how prominent the Holy Spirit is in your fervent explanation of His love for us. I read through this every so often to remind myself of what kind of love for the world I am hoping to show. Thank you

This was a beautiful article that we need to hear more of from our pulpits! It is both encouraging and challenging as well. Too often we read the Scriptures and exegete them with both a Western Cultural mindset which has indeed eroded the meaning of love, let alone the love of God! The eastern Hebrew understanding is that of the shepherd who leaves the 99 to rescue the one, or the love of the father shown to the prodigal in Luke 15. Understanding Hesed is key to learning about and pursuing God’s not human love even as His love pursues us! Shalom!

This helped me so much today. I have two Bible study friends, one who gave me this word Chesed to say and research and the other who knew the word and sent me straight to Psalms for a context, on this Sabbath. I started in Google which took me to Wikipedia and onward to Psalms and inexplicably to Isaiah and now I am here! A beautiful article with beautiful photographs showing what it means to love as God loves.

In reply to Rachel. YES! God is the only being truly capable of complete and total HESED. And I know and believe with all my heart that His HESED is specifically for you personally, just like it is for me also. I am so grateful that my imperfection never causes Him to leave me. His HESED (love) is the foundation of my life.

Thank you very much for this article. I didn’t know about this word hesed, or this kind of love existing. Well, I knew it existed, but I didn’t know its name. I love learning about God’s essence by learning the specific and in-depth meanings of such words. Does that kind of love apply to me personally, like does God have hesed love for me personally? Or is it just meant as a group love, since it has to do with the Covenant?

What an amazing article…and once again we gain richer insight to our L-rd’s character by looking at “Hesed” through the lens of the Hebrew meaning of the word. Thank you Lois
