An Invitation

God speaks. He speaks into our hearts and minds through people, nature, the church. He also speaks to us through His Word. His Word is His love letter to us, His way of helping us remember who we are and assure us of His promises. His Word is the road map to help us live the passionate adventurous lives He always meant for us.

These blog entries are teasers. Insights and revelations to encourage you to read the bible, the greatest piece of literature that was written especially for you, God's child.

Claiming Opportunities


Ruth 2:8 So Boaz said to Ruth, "My daughter, listen to me. Don't go and glean in another field and don't go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls. 9 Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the girls. I have told the men not to touch you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled."

Do you see other people through God's eyes? Are you able to have compassion and bless others through your talents, position and wealth?

When Boaz saw Ruth, He saw her through God's eyes. He immediately had compassion on the widow who had no source of income. He valued her humility. He called her, spoke to her, initiated a friendship. He provided a source of food and protected her from the men of his field. He offered to quench her thirst.

Boaz was the picture of Christ way before our Heavenly Father sent His only son into this planet, to protect us, feed us and quench our thirst.

Today, open your heart and see others through God's eyes. Value humility and bless others with your talents, position and wealth.
