Like a Husband


Yesterday's snow is gone today.
Like a husband, God promises never again to lose his temper, never again to walk out on his wife, never again  to leave her childless and humiliated.  "With great tenderness I will take you back....with love that never runs out I take pity on you."  With gentle words God speaks to us in a poem from Isaiah 54:5-14, one of the readings for the Easter Vigil.  As always, God's love takes the initiative in reconciling with us, as individuals, as well as the whole human race.
No matter how forgotten we feel or how lonely, we can count on God's saving love.
