Do not be discouraged warriors. As a loving father has compassion on his children, so Creator Yahweh has compassion on those who honor and respect him; for he knows how we are formed. He remembers that we are but dust. Before even one of our days came to be, he knew every mistake we would ever make. Yet he called us by name to be his children forevermore. All we need do is acknowledge him and respond in love.

Our days here on earth are like the grass, like a flower of the field. The wind blows over it and it is gone, and it is remembered no more. Not so with Creator Yahweh! He is from everlasting to everlasting and his love endures forevermore. His righteousness stays with us and with our children’s children—with all warriors who keep his covenant and remember to love him and obey his commands. And his commands are simple, warriors, to love him and love others.

If we love Creator Yahweh and love our brothers and sisters, then we will do well and walk in Beauty all the days of our lives here on earth. And then his Spirit will raise us to live with him forevermore.

Eagle People … Today’s reading is Psalm 103:13-18: Pleya gi. “Go with Blessings.”
