good bye for good life...


Today i learn about Ruth in my devotion...
She had good characters which we can learn... Even though her husband had been dead, she was very loyal to her mother in law... She left all her family to follow her husband, mother in law and also God.
Her mother in law, Naomi, didn't want her lived in sadness anymore... Naomi wanted Ruth to leave all the sadness and started to see her future with Boaz.

What an amazing thing that Ruth did... She obeyed what Naomi said to her... She put off her old dress and put on a new dress to meet her future husband, Boaz.
For a woman...i believe that it isn't easy to do something like she did...
Shy and afraid feeling might be mixed in her heart...
But she still obeyed... and passed all the challenges till she got married with Boaz.

In our daily lives... many things that we have like Ruth had...
We have many different backgrounds, experiences, families, feelings, etc...which are good to remember or are good to forget.
Things which should be forgotten we should forget and leave them. Because if we want to hold them in our lives, we can't move forward. They could be big obstacles for us to move.
So... Leave them behind!!!
Catch what God wants in our lives...!!!
Take a new step in Faith with Him....

Through this story of Ruth... I am strengthened again to have a brave heart walking in His promises until the end of my life and until all His purposes are done...
How about you?
Let's say good bye to our past... good bye to what left behind... good bye for just a good life... because a best life is waiting ahead...
and Let's Walk in Faith with Him... ^^
He is with us.... :-)

New Life in Christ

 Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life now I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave me Himself for me.


New life in Christ...
A simple statement but sometimes we forget about its meaning in our lives...
I am not who i am but Christ lives in me...
If Christ lives in me, it means that i have to think, act and respond like Christ.

Things make us worry...
Things which aren't clear...
We don't have to give up to all of those things...
Let's have good response to face them...
Because the life now we live in the body, we live by faith in the Son of God.

Surrender our lives to Him... He will do His part...
