My God, Thank You For Dealing Kindly With Me

February 23 Scripture Meditations Based on Ruth 1-4

Key Verse – Ruth 1:8 … The LORD deal kindly with you…

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR DEALING KINDLY WITH ME Thank You for dealing kindly with me midst my poverty When I’m impoverished in my spirituality While sojourning in worldliness’ vanity Where You pull me away from futility toward Your bounty. Thank You for dealing kindly with me midst my loneliness When I’m weak in my envy-caused bitterness While experiencing self-pity in barrenness Where You grab me away from worthlessness toward Your usefulness. Thank You for dealing kindly with me midst my frustration When I’m unsuccessful in my goal-direction While lamenting in loss-grief’s position Where You drive me away from failure’s torture toward Your victory’s function. Thank You for dealing kindly with me midst my arrogance When I’m self-sufficient in my extravagance While drowning in disobedience-inelegance Where You snatch me away from earthly craving toward Your divine elegance. Thank You for dealing kindly with me midst my backsliding When I’m guilty in my Christian standing While being sin-oppressed in materialistic humanistic enfolding Where You bring me away from transgressions’ cell toward Your holy binding. Thank You for dealing kindly with me midst my hypocrisy When I’m afflicted in my ministry-deficiency While pretending to be strong in carnal persistency Where You carry me away from personal fervency toward Your might’s mercy.
