Hesed is a covenant term. It is a sacred promise that binds two parties together both legally and spiritually.

God’s love is faithful, regardless of ours. How do I know? Jesus' blood stained cross!
Big idea:
God’s love for you is faithful! He is faithful in His love for you!
Challenge:
Ask the Spirit to show you daily, how you should respond to God’s steadfast love and reflect that same steadfast love to others.
