Value of Concentration: Becoming An Heiress to the Kingdom

Memory Verse: Praise God that I was raised by an Heiress!

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

How blessed I am…how very blessed I am, that I was born to Ruth. Most people do not realize that a person they describe as being ruthless; she/he doesn’t have the qualities of Ruth in the Bible.

All of the descriptions of the value of red that I named; my mother Ruth had them all. She loved doing the following: being a mom, wife, teacher of faith, laughter, hospitality, dancing, singing, helping others, protector, stressed the importance of education, spiritual guide, gave me wisdom, taught me the fruits of the Spirit, instilled a true relationship with Christ….and loved me unconditionally.

She was my spiritual soulmate ,and next to my husband, my best friend.

As I look at my relationships with women friends: they will not be “Puff Fluffs.” These are prideful women who are Vogue on the outside and Vague on the inside.

My Spiritual Sis, Gracie coined that phrase; MMMMM? Wonder why we have continued to be friends for 40 years?

As I sit in the cool morning breeze, on my big country porch, I hear her whisper my nickname. “My Lil Suza Belle,”: look what our ABBA has done in your life! Look how He uses you to shout His glory!”

The song,”You Raise Me Up”: when I hear it sung by Josh Groban, it anoints the soul of my mother. It shouts to the heavens what her life on this earth meant.

ABBA, how blessed I am to be raised by an Heiress…The Daughter of The King!

My husband and I have raised our sons to be Heirs. I always tell my spouse the following:”Despite the baggage
that we both carried into our marriage, (LOLO..and 50 yrs ..and still working on it.)we are blessed that our parents raised us with a deep faith.”

As I wear wear Scarlet today, along with silver or gold accents, Help me to share the love and godly qualities of my mother.

I take a deep breath and whisper “Thank You, ABBA”. Thank You for showering my heart with the TRUTH of your Son, Jesus Christ; the only way to salvation. LOLOL BYTHE WAY: THE WORD “TRUTH” is the cross before the word “ruth.”

Romans 8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Ephesians 3:6 This mystery is through the Gospel; the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise of Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
