Day 12  Grace for the Humble

  Ruth 2:10 

Ruth falls to the ground in humility when Boaz shows her kindness. She cannot understand why she, a foreigner, has found favour  and her humility opens the door for grace to flow freely.

Humility isn’t weakness; it’s the posture that allows us to receive. Ruth doesn’t pretend she deserves Boaz’s kindness  she accepts it with gratitude. God often meets us the same way: grace comes when we stop trying to earn it and simply open our hands.

  A gentle practice for today:   Let yourself receive one kindness today without apology.  Lord, teach me to accept grace with a humble heart.
