Stay Close to the Right People

“...The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the LORD, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age...”
(Ruth 4:14–15, NIV)
Stay Close to the Right People
Naomi lost her husband in death, and then both her sons died as well. She was so discouraged that she didn’t think she could go on. She had been full of joy and sweetness, but now she was bitter. She even changed her name from Naomi, which means “my joy,” to Mara, which means “bitter.” She was saying, “Call me bitter.” But her friends refused and kept calling her Naomi. She was trying to stay in defeat, but they said, “No, you’re coming into victory,” and eventually she did.
If you have been through disappointments and loss, you need people around you who will remind you about who you are—not people who will get bitter with you and agree with the defeat. Stay close to people who will call you blessed and victorious. You want people in your life who will remind you that your best days are yet to come, that what was meant for your harm, God will use to your advantage. God bless you.

A very fundamental teaching of Jesus was showing love and compassion for the poor and vulnerable in society as is seen in many of the parables, for example the "Prodigal Son and The unmercifully Servant ". Therefore as God's chosen people we should clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, gentleness and patience. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as Christ forgave.(Ephesians 4:32) Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. When another person has fallen we should be there to lend a helping hand in words or in deed. Among researchers compassion is defined as the feeling that arise when you are confronted with another's suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering. We should be prepared to offer solace or direction to another in time of need.
