May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” “May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”
Ruth 2:10-13 (NIV)
When you know that it is right, Exhale the excess and toxic and make room for the more, for the more will be more than you can contain. Do not hesitate to Exhale, go ahead and Breathe: New Life and despite the odds not being in your favor; traditions and customs unkind to your predicament; or just the sheer impossibility your circumstances create, you can and will have new life. God has chosen you and your path and if you are willing to take the risk to believe, have faith, and act upon that, God will reveal His favor, grace on and over your life. God has already worked out all things, He is waiting for you to Exhale; take the leap of faith, investing your all and as a result, He releases upon you that which is exceedingly, abundantly, more than. Ruth, a Moabite, a widow, whose mother-in-law is old and no future prospects for a son to be born, finds herself gleaning for leftovers and despite it, felt her time right and released all negativity from her situation, and comes upon Boaz. Boaz becomes Ruth’s new life, not only providing for her right now need but also providing through her womb, the world's greatest gift, Jesus, who in turn provides to all the right to life and life more abundantly!
