My favorite benediction. We used to say this in our youth group every time we'd meet, at the end...we'd join hands in a circle and say this and then we'd go home. Precious memories to me from my youth!! That is where I truly learned to love and trust and yearn for the Lord in my life.
Interesting verse! It's not in the third person ( it says: the Lord 'bless' you, not blesses you; 'keep' not keeps... 'give peace' not gives peace). That is, it's as if intended to each one of us, a blessing for everyone of us to say.
REceived! Amen! Same to you dear Sandi!! I also was sharing this with a friend whose daughter needed a hug. THis blessing is also like a wonderful hug from the LORD!! There is nothing like His PEACE!
Dear Sandi! Thank you very much for your condolences, for me and the Polish nation. A great man was murdered - the mayor of Gdańsk. Blessed day, Sandi:)
Blessings to you today too!
