Psalm 85: What God's Love Looks Like

Psalm 85 is a very descriptive psalm.  The psalmist is yearning for the restoration of Israel: for God's forgiveness and mercy to be poured out upon the nation.  What will that look like when it happens?  We receive a beautiful picture of God's love in the last four verses:  "Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.  Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky. The Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.  Righteousness will go before him, and will make a path for his steps."  If you, too, are yearning for God's love, may Psalm 85 encourage you with its radiant description of that reality!
