THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD’S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-27| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA What if the kindness of God doesn’t feel kind at all? Ruth Was the Kindness Naomi Didn’t Expect In this gripping episode of the RUTH Bible Study Series, we explore the unsettling beauty of divine kindness—how it often arrives clothed in contradiction, wrapped in sorrow, and yet anchored in eternal purpose. Ruth wasn’t just a companion to Naomi; she was God’s kindness stitched into the fabric of her bitterness. And that same paradox pulses through our own lives. 🌾 Highlights You’ll Remember: - Kindness You Can Count: Ruth 1:8 reminds us—what you have is proof. God’s kindness is measurable, even when it’s misunderstood. - Bitterness with a Mission: The Cross, a tree of suffering, becomes the symbol of redemptive kindness. Every bitter moment invites us to remember the finished work of Christ. - Mercy in the Midst of Judgment: A balanced spiritual life holds both. Sometimes, the harshest seasons are the kindest interventions. - Consecration or Collapse: Like Daniel and Joseph, your response to hardship reveals your theology. Will bitterness birth surrender—or self-sabotage? - Prayer as Realignment: When your thoughts drift from God’s rest, He calls you back—not to comfort, but to clarity. - Kindness Beyond Comprehension: Isaiah 55:8 and 2 Peter 3:9 remind us—God’s ways are not slack, they’re sovereign. His kindness is not indulgence; it’s intention. 🌿 Final Thought: The kindness of God may feel severe, even strange. But it’s never random. It’s always working toward His will, not our whims. And in every bitter situation, the Cross stands as the eternal reminder: redemption is already written into the pain. Listen now—and let this message reframe how you see kindness, suffering, and the sacred tension between them.
