Day 27: Hesed, Lovingkindness

The Well Church in The City of New York

Day 27: Hesed, Lovingkindness

April 7, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Psalm 86:5–7

In a culture that elevates self-love above all else, what happens when we're hurt by someone's self-interest? How do we reconcile hurting others in the midst of chasing after our desires?

The path of Jesus defines love as patient and kind, an action that always projects and is not self-seeking or easily angered.

Have you experienced this type of divine lovingkindness? Today in our meditation, we will sit with God's divine lovingkindness, referred to as Hesed in scripture.

Silence, Be Still and Know

April 15, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Psalm 46:10

As our Lenten Journey comes to an end on Good Friday, we bring our awareness of connecting with God through silence. Have you ever experienced God at the very ground of your being? Today we invite you to answer God's invitation to: "Be still and know..."

Day 32: Humble

April 14, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • John 13:14–17

A Trappist monk once said: Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real. There is nothing that is more disarming than being in the presence of someone who is humble. Jesus approaches us with divine humility in exchange for our pride. We invite you today to open your heart to being filled with the gift of Jesus' humility.

Day 31: Light of the World

April 13, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • John 8:12

Ancient scripture in the book of John shares: "In Jesus was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Today in our meditation, we invite you to open your spiritual imagination to ponder and visualize Jesus' divine light.
