Becoming a Modern Day Ruth
A modern day Ruth refuses to conform to the patterns of this world. She refuses to let the world tell her that she’s something she’s not. She finds her identity in Christ.
She isn’t like other woman of the world; she has been set apart to be different . She has been called out, chosen. She refuses to be a people pleaser; she is God pleaser. She allows God to work through her and chooses to love and serve while she waits.
She is also consumed in her love for God and the work she has been called to do that the wait doesn’t feel like waiting. She isn’t caught up in the process, but rather she is patiently trusting God, the ruler of her heart, with her future.
She knows her season of singleness is for a reason and only a season. She doesn’t know what the future holds, but she trusts the one who holds it. And when God brings her Boaz into her life, she follows the Lord’s lead. She knows when to wait, and she knows when to move because she is in tune with the Holy Spirit’s voice.
How does she discern what move to take ? every decision she makes is guided by prayer. Every move she makes is made in love and faithfulness.
Her inner voice has become that of her Father’s. She trusts Him with her entire life, no matter what the future may bring. Today, you can make the decision to hand over the pen of your life and let God be the author of YOUR LOVE STORY.
We serve a God of new beginnings and second chances. His mercies are new every single morning. Your best days are yet to come. He has wonderful things in store for you and that doesn’t just concern marriage. Fall in love with God. He is passionately, remarkably, crazy in love with you.
He wants first place in our heart. Psalm 37:4 tells us, “Delight yourself in the Lord ad He will give you the desires of your heart. God has not called you to live a mediocre life. He doesn’t want to give you an “okay” job, or an “okay” marriage.
He wants to give you the best of everything for the simple fact that He is your Father. He is going to cause your cup to overflow with blessings.
He wants to give you His perfect peace, you just have to keep your eyes fixed on Him. He is working everything out for your good. Hold onto your Father.
You are his precious daughter and He delights in you. God is callig you into a passionate romance with Himself. He wants to give you a love story that will put all of the other fairy tales you’ve read to shame.
God has embedded those desires in your heart for a reason, and when the timing is right, He will bring those desires to fruition . You can trust that your heart is safe when you place it in the hands of God.
He will always take care of you. As of right now, take pride in he fact that God has called you to be a modern day Ruth, to love and to serve until your Boaz comes into your life. Then when your Boaz comes, you will continue to love and serve God together.
