For, when you come to know the Source of your life,
love flows through you and radiates outward;
Harmony enters into your life, you see with new eyes.
All that once was pain and suffering no longer affects the peace in your heart.
Through the healing forgiveness of Love, all past wrongs are righted;
Joy comes alive in your heart, the joy of understanding.
Then do you know the great Treasure,
the pearl hidden in the Secret Realm within.
Glorious is the life of the soul when illuminated by the Divine Spirit.
Search for it, friends, count not the years;
enter into the stillness of your innermost being!
Nan C. Merrill Psalms for Praying
Reflection:
The psalmist continues to affirm that she keeps God’s law. She asks again for God to preserve her life and keep her safe from adversaries and wicked people. In verse 156, the psalmist says God’s justice is merciful love. Justice needs accountability, restitution, forgiveness, mercy, and ultimately Love, to transform our hearts and create a more loving world. God’s justice will heal us.
