I think there’s something deeply romantic about allowing another person’s reality to revise you. To say: I thought I understood you. I was wrong. Tell me again. That’s intimacy. The willingness to be corrected by reality.
Nobody talks about the fact that Boaz blessed Ruth before he pursued her.
He made sure she was safe.
He made sure she was fed.
He made sure she was protected.
Before he even expressed interest.
Ruth 2:8-9
A man who is genuinely sent by God will make you feel safe before he makes you feel chosen.
God is saying to you: I am restoring the years, energy, peace, and joy that felt stolen, delayed, or wasted. You have not fallen behind, and your story is not over. I am preparing you for a powerful new elevation in the season ahead. What the enemy meant for harm, I am turning around for your good. Get ready for a beautiful new season of purpose, peace, restoration, and passion. I am bringing renewed strength to your heart, fresh vision to your mind, and hope to the places where you once felt discouraged. The doors that seemed closed are not the end of your journey.
