"She Sacrificed"
When Naomi realized her daughter -in- laws would never legally be her daughter-in-laws again...Since both her sons (their husband's were dead) and she was far too old to have more sons, and if she did, the wait for Orpah and Ruth would be far too great.
I mean who wants to wait around for little boys to become men?
Naomi did what most good mothers find themselves doing on a daily basis ...She sacrificed her own needs for the good of her girls. She sacrificed her need, her desire to have them with her...She sacrificed and said something that must have tore at her insides.
She kissed them and they cried openly. They said, "No we're going on with you to your people. But Naomi was firm: "Go back, my dear daughters she said. Go back, on your way, please! I'm too old to get a husband. Even if I said, "There's still hope! and this very night got a man and had sons, can you imagine being satisfied to wait until they were grown?"
Ruth 1:9-13 MSG
Oh the GOD inspired, GOD empowered love of a good mother...To try with everything she has to steer her children in a direction she feels is better for them...To try, to attempt to sheild them from what she knows will be heartbreak.
Naomi. She sacrificed...Because a good mother would rather her own life be put on hold, than for her children's lives to be put on hold, delayed especially by something that's unsure, when she knows their potential and there is so much more, they can be doing.
SOME MOTHER RIGHT NOW: You're trying to convince your child to go back to school because you know their potential....Their potential is greater than what they're settling for.
Focus Points:
To: Every good mother out there...You sacrifice the way you do because GOD instilled the sacrifice in YOU.
YOU are acting like GOD towards us. Every time you sacrifice for your children...Remember GOD and His sacrifice of JESUS for us. John 3:16
God knows and understands.
HaPpY MoThEr'S dAY!!!
Until Next Sunday.
