Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each
other.
One evening Cerf appeared on an NBC radio program called "Conversation." The panelists on
this particular show were asked to spend the entire thirty-minute program that night discussing
just one question: "What Are You Most Afraid Of?" They talked about a wide range of fears, but
finally they decided on the one thing they were most afraid of: "the nuclear bomb."
After the panelists had reached that consensus, the moderator, Clifton Fadiman, noticed that
Bennett Cerf hadn't said a word. When prodded, Cerf replied in a humble voice that he had
hesitated to answer the question truthfully because he was afraid that his concern would seem so
trivial. But he went on to admit that what he feared most was "not being loved."
We have all probably had moments when we didn't feel loved. Will you show God's love to
someone today?
(Psalms 85:10
NRSV)
James Moore in his book titled STANDING ON THE PROMISES OR SITTING ON THE
PREMISES? tells a wonderful story about Bennett Cerf, a respected publisher and author for
Random House a few years ago.
God of peace, help me to share the peace of love. Amen.
