SOW COURAGE 3

 Married for 10 years with no child, became a widow with no child; had a mother-in-law who was soooo heart broken because of the loss of her husband and two sons, yet, Ruth decided to keep going forward. (Ruth 1:1-end). 

Let's put that in context...why will you stick to a mother-in-law who has nothing but to offer you painful memories? TEN YEARS of marriage with no issue is enough to worry about; the death of your husband comes next...and now your mother-in-law is asking you to go back to your people, yet...Ruth said I will not go back. 

Got into a strange country and from day 1, decided to COURAGEOUSLY go out to be productive...never a moment to sit down and cry over her situation, rather thinking of ways to be positively engaged in life.

She took initiative, decided to be part of the harvesting process in a stranger's farm...and guess what...genuine courage from within always endears the favour of God. 

You want to know the end of that story? Ruth eventually got remarried, had a son and became one of the paternal great grand mothers of King David and by extension Jesus Christ, the saviour of the world. 

I don't know what your story is...not sure if I can understand what you have been through but one thing is certain, sitting down and crying, looking for pity party will not change the situation. Being all angry, brooding on negative emotions and having little or no drive for life will not change anything. 

Get out there...and engage courage because like Ruth, you are just about to make history.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
