[Mother] Ruth serves her mother-in-law wholeheartedly


Ruth serves her mother-in-law wholeheartedly.

In the Bible, it is not common that someone who is not Israel people be written in the genealogy among twelve tribes. Here's an exception to that. It is 'Ruth'. Ruth is one of my favorite characters of the Bible.

Mt 1:5~6 Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of King David.

Ruth was the the mother of grandfather of King David, she was great-grandmother of King David, so to speak. But then how was she recorded in the history of Israelite? It is because God the LORD accepted her like His people.

Ru 1:16 Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you; mother-in-law, or to turn back from you, Naomi. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.

When someone's husband dies and she remains childless, it is naturally regarded that she doesn't have any responsibility to take care of her mother-in-law or parents-in-law. Even more Naomi, who was the mother-in-law, urged Ruth to leave her and find the new husband, but Ruth turned down her suggestion and made up her mind to keep serving her, saying, "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay."

I want to be like another Ruth, who served Naomi well with all her heart. I will do serve my Heavenly Mother with all my heart and mind until we enter the kingdom of heaven, saying, "Wherever you go, I'll follow you."

Ruth Kim - A Letter from Christ

A Letter from God Nowadays people no longer write a handwritten letter, instead they send text message or e-mail with one another. Usually it’s believed that the handwritten letter contains what they think of some issues, how much they take care of others, what message they want to tell and that it shows their heart. More precisely as we just read the letter, we can even notice the personality or character of writer.   In the Bible, God called us ‘a letter from Christ’. Why did He say that? We can notice God’s will, saying ‘We are the letters from Christ’, that God’s children have to show and reflect God’s real love towards the world how much He love people and who we ought to be and how we should act to help people understand Christ and believe in God Elohim; Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother. 2Co 3:1~3 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You show that you are a letter from Ch...

Kyle - Passover, the master key to completely protect from the last disaster.

Image
The Bible prophesied the great disaster will come on the earth. But the Bible also tells us about not only disaster but also the method that we can be protected from it. Then, How does God protect us from the disaster? Ex 12:13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. In the age of Moses, God established the Passover for the first time and He promised the disaster would pass over them when they keep it. According to this God’s promise, Israelites who kept the Passover were saved from the disaster that all firstborn were killed. And this promise was not only for the time of Moses. In the time of king Hezekiah 800 years after Moses, there is history people who kept the Passover were saved. 2Ch 30:1,10 Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, inviting them to come to the temple of the LORD in Jerus...

[Mother] Who Do You Take After?

Image
Lets Us Make Man in Our Image and in Our Likeness I've often heard from birth that I really take after my mother. People used to compare my mom and me when I was a baby, pointing to my eyes, nose and mouth, my mom was pleased to hear what people were saying. I was glad that my mom was smiling and be pleasant because I took after my mom and it made her happy. Ge 1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. I was born of the image of God, especially the female image of God. Thus When compared God and me, pointing to my eyes, nose and mouth, I should really take after God. 2Co 6:18 I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. I call the male image of God a Father. I call the female image of God a Mother. I call God Elohim Heavenly Parents. I'm happy to be Their child, as a daughter. I'm happy They call me 'a daughter', even the beloved ch...
