This morning I heard God speak to me. I heard Him say:
” I am Boaz and you are like Ruth.”
I smiled as this gave me the thought of what Ruth said to Naomi when Naomi told her to go back to her homeland:
I had always felt very connected to that verse.
I wanted to understand what He meant by calling me Ruth and calling Himself, Boaz. I sat down and read Ruth 4. In this chapter, Boaz redeems Ruth; just as Christ has redeemed me.
Verse 11 stuck out to me:
This touched my heart and brought a tear to my eye, I was stunned and asked , “Do You really see me this way, Lord?…..Honestly, I don’t feel this way…”
I looked down to the ground and asked, “Please help me to see myself the way You see me, Lord.”
This is beautiful, Lina! I love sensing your closeness with the Lord, visiting your blog.
Aww thanks! Tbh I’ve been pretty grumpy at Him lately lol
