Most of the children, especially daughters depend for their needs in their mothers, rather on father. They are of the opinion nobody’s love supersedes the mother’s love. But what about god’s love who created us.
God said, “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! (Isaiah 49:15).
If a mother belonging to this world has got so much love towards her children, certainly God, the almighty, must have more amount of love towards his creation. Mother may not look after her children at all the times, but whereas God takes care of us at all times, no doubt in it.
Look at this verse, “He will not let your foot slip-he who watches over you will not slumber” (Psalm 121:3).
God’s affection and love towards Naomi and Ruth.
When, there was a famine in Bethlehem in Judah, Elimelech together with his wife namely Naomi and two sons, Mahlon and Kilon went to Moab country to live there. After some time Elimelech died. Later o the two sons married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After ten years of married life, both the sons died, and Naomi was left with the two daughters-in- laws only.
Naomi, along with Ruth returned to Bethlehem. She told the people there, not to call me as “Naomi”, but “call me Mara” (Ruth 1:20), as Almighty made my life bitter. Actually the fault lies with Emilech, who left his native land without knowing the intention of God and his life in a foreign land. But Naomi thought that God did injustice to her.
But God did a miracle. Boaz, (a rich man and a devotee of God), married Ruth and thus God filled happiness and peace in that house through Ruth, the daughter-in-law of Naomi. Later on Ruth conceived and birth to a son by name “Obed”, whose name was included in the hierarchy of Lord.
Naomi forgot all the troubles faced by her before, after seeing f her grandson, “Obed” and praised God faithfully.
Even we may forget Juses some times, but God loves us forever. Such is the Christ’s love towards the mankind.
