A replica of a famous painting once hung in my in-laws’ house. I love art, and this moved me. “The Gleaners” shows poor women picking up leftover crops after the reapers had harvested. This is the story of Ruth in the Bible. She and her mother-in-law Naomi lost their husbands. Ruth followed Naomi to Bethlehem to glean because there was a famine, and they had no one to support them. The man who owned the field they gleaned saw them and took pity on them. He invited Ruth to his dinner table, where he had plenty. He later married Ruth and redeemed her and her mother-in-law from their poor existence. Friends, this is what our Redeemer wants to do for us. God sent His Son to save us from settling for the crumbs of life. Jesus tells us that he came to give life to the fullest. We have to be willing to “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”(Matthew 6:33)
IT'S A HARnDen LIFE...
