REDEEMER
Today's reading: Ruth

"I am your servant Ruth, she replied, Spread the corner of your covering over me, for you are my family redeemer." Ruth 3:9 NLT

It's a love story to surpass all others. Something Hollywood tries to re-create, but can't. The kind of story all little girls dream of.

But looking deeper into it, finding out the background, digging around about it, mining for the gems, I find what I need to continue on this morning...

Redeemer-a person who brings goodness, honor and value to something again.

Maybe I was a cute baby. That's where any good in me ended. That's where all the good in us ended. We have nothing to offer, there is no good in us, we bring nothing to this world of value.

Until Jesus redeems us.

Until we accept His gift of salvation and ask Him to rule in our hearts.

Until we allow Him full reign of our lives.

Then and only then will there be any goodness, honor or value in us.

Hillsong-My Redeemer Lives

I know He rescued my soul
His blood has covered my sin
I believe, I believe

My shame He's taken away
My pain is healed in His name
I believe, I believe

I'll raise a banner
'Cause my Lord
Has conquered the grave

My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
