Blessing Others With God's Favor

Ruth 2:10-12
10 At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground. She exclaimed, "Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me—a foreigner?"

11 Boaz replied, "I've been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. 12 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."


This verse speaks to me about having a giving heart. Boaz is the master of this field and he offers Ruth a place to gather. He is letting her stay here and offering her water and food. His heart is a giving heart to her.

Just like how Jesus has a giving heart, we also should having a heart to be open, helpful, and giving. We should have a heart to serve others as well as to serve the Lord.

I know how your heart is, Lord. I pray that my heart be a reflection of your will. Let me be a person with a giving heart. I pray that you soften my heart so that I may be more like you. I thank you for this word and I pray that it work in my heart. I thank you and pray all these in Jesus Holy name.
Amen.
