Studying Psalm 51, Hebrew word for ‘lovingkindness’ is  “chesed.” I hear the Lord say:

Many are My loving thoughts toward you. My lovingkindness, my ‘chesed’ extends to all My children. Each one is special and unique to Me. Each one is cherished and adored. As you study Psalm 51, you see how David recognizes how deeply I love him and Israel and am merciful to him despite his severe transgressions.  I am so merciful that I sent My beloved Son to die in your place. All transgressions were blotted out because of my ‘chesed’ – my persistent, unfailing love bond for My children.  My covenant extends to all believers. I welcome them with open arms.

Grasp how deep, how wide and how long is this love of Mine. When John wrote, “God is love”, this is what he was describing.

For great is his steadfast love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord!
Psalm 117:2  ESV
