WHAT'S MORE
Today's reading: Ruth

"Then Ruth said, What's more, Boaz even told me to come back and stay with his harvesters until the entire harvest is completed." Ruth 2:21 NLT

I can hear her breathless excitement as she re-tells her entire day to Naomi. Every detail. Every moment. Every single second of her day.

I can hear her list one godly trait after another in regards to Boaz. He's nice. He's kind. He's patient. He's caring. He's generous.  I, and maybe it's the little girl in me, that even guesses she mentioned what color his eyes were--and swooned.

But then she says it.

And I don't guess I'd ever paused long enough to notice it before...

What's more...

As if she and Naomi were not thrilled with all he had done, she feels she needs to add one more thing.

I do that with God.

He saved me.

That in itself is amazing...undeserved...change-a-life kind of spectacular...wonderful.

But what's more...

He offers me His name.

He provides me with family.

He allows me to be a part of His work.

He continues to forgive me and grow me and love me.

He chooses not to turn His back on me, even when I provide Him plenty of reasons to do so.

So, Ruth, I get the 'what's more' in your conversation!
