naomi and ruth

so today's quiet time brought me back to the time of judges, to the time of naomi and ruth.. the focus of the story would be how ruth stuck with naomi, even when things dont look too good. "Naomi and Ruth teach us how we should respond when bad things happen to us. When bad things happen to us, there is always the temptation to be self-centered and self-absorbed. Let us follow the example of our Lord Jesus instead. Let us seek to serve first, before seeking to be served."

i wonder how would some self-justified people think when they read this. maybe "one shldnt sink with a sinking ship"? well, to you its sinking because you want to be justified in being self centered..

i thank God for giving me this spirit of not self seeking in this area. i thank God for the people who are self seeking. without them, i will not get to face a life of unfairness.. of why self centered people get to be better off.

my reward is in the future. ill hang on to it...
