Ruth 2:13
The Message (MSG)
13 She said, “Oh sir, such grace, such kindness—I don't deserve it. You've touched my heart, treated me like one of your own. And I don't even belong here!”
It struck me that when Ruth spoke to Boaz, about not belonging or deserving; it made me think of how many times God has bestowed his grace to me and how I tried to run from it.
How many of us have felt unworthy of God's grace; due to our past or present behavior and actions. But isn't it great as it says in 2 Timothy 1:9 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
It is really amazing that long before we were born, we were worthy of grace and by grace have we been saved through faith; and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God;Ephesians 2:8.
A gift isn't meant to be given because of the merits we have earned, or the people, clothes, money or status we have! God's gift of his son was freely given(Romans 8:32) to us! We've belonged because we have been his long before the stars were created. And because we have accepted his gift through faith, we deserve to proudly show, his grace in everything thing we say and do. AMEN!
