Dear Friend,
It's so easy to get caught up in whatever challenge you
may be going through and you end up becoming a grouch that everyone avoids. I'm
not asking you to pretend there are no issues. I'm not even asking you not to
cry. Cry, if you find it soothing. However, don't get paralyzed in one place
because of pain.
Naomi and Ruth were in pretty much the same position.
They were both widows. Naomi was a bit better placed because at least she was
with her people. Thankfully, Ruth was practical enough to realise that they
arrived Bethlehem at the time of harvest. She could have joined Naomi in the
'pity party' and missed the time of harvest. When you're too focused on your
challenges, you will miss opportunities that abound around you. Then you may
try to glean when it's past harvest time and you'll have missed both the supply
and the "Boaz".
Feel free to cry as you go about doing what ought to be
done, even in the midst of the pain. You won't be the first to do that.
"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that
goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with
rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Psalm 126: 5-6
Take the next God-ordained step; watch God move and
beautify your life. You will testify, in Jesus' Name.
Enjoy your day!
