A wise mentee: Ruth appropriated the wisdom from Naomi's pain.

            Christians have been taught, 
          "Give your life to Jesus & everything will be all right."

Princess Bola Adelani shares her personal journey through truth & pain. She shares about how Ruth saw pain as building character in Naomi & how Ruth chose to stick with Naomi.

           We got married & all hell literally broke loose.

• Pain has purpose

           Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, 
           that we may be able to comfort them which are 
           in any trouble,  by the comfort wherewith we 
           ourselves are comforted of God.
           2 Cor 1:4, KJV
  

• Jesus learned obedience through the pain He suffered.

           Although He was a Son [who had never been 
           disobedient to the Father], 
           He learned [active, special] obedience through 
           what He suffered.
           Heb 5:8, KJV
  

• The testing becomes a testimonial

Pay Attention Inwards Now

          Naomi on Mother's Day would have been very sad. 
          She even called herself Mara or a bitter one.
          Ruth saw how Naomi saw purpose in her pain.
          Naomi imparted all her wisdom into Ruth

           It is good for me that I have been afflicted; 
           that I might learn thy statutes.
           Ps 119:71 KJV

• Pain makes us reliant on God

           With each trial my ministry takes a different turn.
           Princess Bola Adelani
  

           Beloved, I wish above all things that 
           thou mayest prosper & be in health, 
           even as thy soul prospereth. 
           3 Jn 2:2 KJV

How do we get from trial to transition

     Because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered 
     in being tempted, 
     He is able to help and provide immediate assistance 
     to those who are being tempted and exposed to 
     suffering.
     Heb 2:18, AMP

1. Review

           How did I get here?

2. Repent

          Take responsibility. 
          Acknowledge your own role. 
          Ask God for forgiveness.

3. Get the help that you need

         Get professional help
         When your heart is wounded who said that
         you don't need professional help.

4. Get a mentor

          Naomi mentored Ruth. 
          Elizabeth mentored Mary.
          Find someone who has wisdom to whom you 
          can be accountable.

5. Don't stop living

        Keep on living. 
        Keep moving on. 
        This too will pass.
        No matter how dark the night: morning is coming.
