RUTH 3:9, 11A (2025)

RUTH 3:9, 11A

“Who are you?” he asked. 

The answer came, “I am Ruth, your servant. 

Spread the corner of your cloak over me 

for you are a kinsman who has right of redemption over me.” 

“Have no fear, my daughter; I will do for you all that you ask.”

---- mine,

I do not ask who you are; I knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb. I have known you in eternity. I desired that you be created. I have loved you into existence. It is My love that carries you along and keeps you safe in My Name and in My love. I have redeemed you. I have sanctified you. I have betrothed you to Me. Fear nothing, ---- my own, except eternal separation from Me. Pray without ceasing. Make all your needs known to Me, tell Me everything. My ear is pressed to your lips. I want to hear all. It pleases Me to have you confide everything to Me. Make Me an intrinsic part of your life. Never forget that in all things I have the power to draw good, so do not be unhappy and despondent when you have to undergo trials. All is necessary to shape you and mould you into the person that I desire you to be. Be compliant under My Spirit, and you will, in time, become all that I desire you to be. Have faith and have confidence that in the end, all will be well.

JOHN 11:3, 5-7 (2025)

JOHN 11:3, 5-7

So the sisters sent this message to Jesus, 

“Lord, the one you love is sick.”

It is a fact that Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus; 

yet, after he heard of the illness of Lazarus, 

he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. 

Only then did he say to his disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”

---- mine,

Not all your prayers are heard at once. Sometimes I wait for the appointed hour, the appointed day, the appointed time that I have chosen, and I know is perfect. Remember, when I answer a prayer, it is not to only console and delight you, but what is of far greater importance, is that in the waiting, your faith, hope, and trust grow. It is then that God is glorified. God is greatly glorified when you learn to live as My Mother did, tranquil and steadfast in faith in the will of My Father. To wait on the Lord is fruitful, to wait and while you wait watchful, vigilant, hopeful, and faithful, knowing that in the end all things work for the glory of God and for My Kingdom. Do not fret, do not be anxious, do not lose hope, and give up praying and imploring Me to answer you. I delight in your prayers and delight even more in your confidence in Me. Ask for whatever you will, ---- my own, and I will give it even to making you co-heir with Me to the Kingdom of Heaven. I loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, and yet I made the sisters wait for 4 days after Lazarus died before I raised him to life. It was imperative for Me to do so because all who witnessed the miracle would have no doubt about who I AM - the Author of Life and Death. So do not be anxious about anything, but with praise and thanksgiving make all your fears, needs, and desires known to Me, and in My time and in My way I will answer all you ask for, and you will glorify Me. As you wait and pray with praise and thanksgiving, your faith, hope, and confidence will grow, increase, expand, strengthen, and flourish. You will also be pruned, strengthened, and purified.
