Tonight I am dusting off these wings and spreading them to fly! I feel a bit rusty when it comes to putting down my thoughts in writing. I have learned to just begin right where I am, so I will flap these wings and begin to lift.
Today I had a profound revelation for my life of Ruth 3:11. “And now, my daughter; do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.” If ever you found yourself in need of redemption in life, oh man I have, you would share in my joy! It was a surprise, the redeemer was the one that came to me when I was 4 or 5. He has stayed with me through the pain, the grief, he saw the betrayals and he forgave those I perpetuated on him. I guess I will just leave that there, only he knows the extent of what he has endured and carried me through. I used to dream of a man seeing the ups and downs and loving me through it all and I finally found him. Truth is he found me. Jesus, God and Man! It was my time, or his time for me! The surprise was the realization that it is done. It is one thing when I believe and read the stories of those who have gone before, then such another thing to find myself in the story, and finding I have crossed over to the victory side and it makes the faith, the persistence in believing worth it. I used to accept this scripture in Ruth as mine and many others, but something changes, like seeing a vision dimly is to a vivid dream, my life before to being chosen and redeemed. I am not speaking of salvation, for that has been mine since childhood. No, I am speaking about the way Ruth asked to be redeemed by Boaz. She lost her husband and her life and was a stranger where she was. I too have lost many times and things, but today I heard him say: “And now my daughter do not fear, I will do for you all that you request!” And my story changed, just like that and I too am like Ruth, redeemed!!!
Man or woman, child, or seasoned, Jesus waits to lavish his love on you and turn your story into more victory. Choose him today, he is just a prayer (conversation) away!
