Ruth and Orpah, two daughter-in laws of Israeli woman called Naomi (which means pleasant) moving on their journey way to return land of Judah. Naomi offered them free will to decide their own pathways. Orpah returned to where she came from, i.e. land of Moab. Ruth determined to follow Naomi, and even ready to die with her.  Later on Ruth was rewarded magnificently by Lord as she became part of Genealogy of Jesus Christ as mentioned in Matthew chapter 1 verse 5.

Similarly Jesus Christ when he was facing condemnation of death with criminals on the cross, one criminal requested Christ for forgiveness, and immediately he was rewarded with life in paradise by Christ. To remain focused on Christ we must rebuke SATAN who attacks our thoughts constantly with negativity. The Bible tells us “Then Peter took Him and began to rebuke Him, saying, God be gracious to You, Lord! This shall never be to you. But He turned and said to Peter, Go, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you do not savor the things that are of God, but those that are of men. Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. Matthew 16:22-24”. How a person can DENY HIMSELF only thorough one thing: “But to whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if I forgave anything, for your sakes I forgave it to him in the person of Christ; so that we should not be overreached by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his devices.  2 Corinthians 2:10- 11”

So Pray earnestly with GOD that “And this we will do, if God permits. Hebrews 6:3”
