Above & Beyond

Life can be hard. We all have had our moments when through the kindness of others we have been blessed. When we work hard and earn a paycheck that is nice but not really a "blessing". After all, you did do something to earn that paycheck. However, if you were out sick all week and still got a paycheck from your boss just to show he cared and wanted to help that is a blessing.

Ruth was out gathering grain as the law allowed. But Boaz blessed her by going beyond what the law allowed. He allowed her to eat with his workers and enjoy things she was not "entitled" to receive.

Ruth 2:14-16
14 At mealtime Boaz said to her, " Come here, that you may eat of the bread and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers; and he served her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left. 15 When she rose to glean, Boaz commanded his servants, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not insult her. 16 "Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her."NASU

God desires to bless you as well. When you invite Jesus into your heart, you will receive eternal life. Not because you earned it, but simply because God chose to give you this free gift.

The second beauty of this blessing is it has no limit.. you can tell others where to go to receive the same blessing.

May you be blessed and bless others today.
