TIFERET OF CHESED
We have been pondering the types of Chesed love.
Someone said it this way; "there is love and there is beautiful love."
Chesed always includes compassion and empathy. This is the part of love that makes it beautiful love. To give love without expecting anything in return is the essence of true love. This is especially true when the person receiving the love is undeserving.
Tiferet is a type of love that gives to those that have hurt them. Working with the discipline of gevurah, it believes in compassion and loving all equally.
The perfect example of tiferet of chesed would be the love of Jesus as He died on the cross for each and every one of us. He loved us and had compassion upon us even when we were sinners and even when we were hateful and hurtful to Him.
Can we learn to imitate this aspect of God's love?
Only through the power of God's Holy Spirit. With God; all things are possible.
