You are His Beloved - By Sis Stella Dhinakaran

See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.
(Isaiah 49:16)

Beloved! In this fast and uncertain world even parents fail to show love and care for their begotten children. But the Lord loves you very much because you are precious to Him. The Loving Lord says, "Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me” (Isaiah 49:15, 16).

The Bible speaks about Ruth, a Moabitess woman who lost her husband at a very young age. Her mother-in-law, Naomi who was also a widow urged her to return to her father’s house and start a new life. But Ruth refused to do so and determined to cleave to Naomi to the end. She said to Naomi, “For wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Both the women returned to Bethlehem where Ruth gets to glean ears of corn that were left behind by the reapers in the field of Boaz. Boaz was a rich and close relative of Naomi’s husband who came to know of the good deeds of Ruth said, "The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge" (Ruth 2:12).

The Lord did repay the good deeds of Ruth by blessing her latter end. She married Boaz and the Lord blessed them with a son. Yes, the Lord turned the bitter life of Ruth into a sweet one filled with joy and happiness.

Beloved! Give the Lord your heart and He will cleanse you and make you His own. He shall turn your bitter life into a sweet one filled with joy and happiness.



Prayer:


Loving Heavenly Father,

I thank You for the promise that You will never forget me and that I am always on Your mind. Father, draw me close to You and strengthen me. Teach and help me to do good to others at all times. Take away the bitterness in my life and fill me with joy and happiness. When there is no way for me in life, You are the One Who makes a way for me in life and let me see good days henceforth. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen.
