  Speaker 1: Nobody, and I do mean nobody does it like your
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: early morning phraise party. I am Sherry Mackie. And it's
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: time right now four Today's word. When God says it's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: time to release. When God says it's time to release,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Ruth one fourteen and sixteen says. Then Orpah kissed her
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: mother in law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her. Ruth replied,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: don't urge me to leave you or to turn back
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: from you. Where you go, I'll go, where you stay,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I'll stay. Your people will be my people, and your
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: God my god. You know, life brings seasons of deep connection,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you know, friendships, partnerships, relationships that feel like they're gonna
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: last forever, and then unexpectedly, a shift happens. What once
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: felt like permanent suddenly becomes temporary. The same people who
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: walk with us in laughter, who held us through tears,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: may no longer be meant to continue with us into
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the next chapter of our lives. This is exactly where Naomi, Ruth,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and Orpah found themselves. Y'all. All three women experienced heartbreak
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and loss. They were bound together by grief, by love,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and by shared memories. But when Naomi decided to return
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: home and urge her daughters in law to go back
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to their own families. Each woman responded differently. Na Orpah,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: she kids Naomi goodbye, like, all right, then take care.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Now you gotta realize Naomi painted a really grim picture
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of her future, and Orpah chose to go back to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: her family. Y'all, that wasn't betrayal orpen didn't betrayed Naomi.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: It wasn't failure on Orpu's part. It was simply closure.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Her part in that story had come to an end. Ah,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: but Ruth, Ruth had clunged to Naomi, no matter the uncertainty,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: no matter the cost, she chose to stay. She chose
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: covenant over comfort, faith over familiar arity. So here's the truth.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Some people are assigned to your past, others to your destiny,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and wisdom is knowing the difference. If someone wants to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: leave your life, don't you dare force them to stay.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You can pour out love, you can pour out support, encouragement,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and even loyalty. But if God is closing the door,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: no amount of effort will keep it open. Sometimes the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: greatest act of faith is simply letting go. Not every
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: goodbye rejection. Sometimes goodbye is just a redirection by God. See,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: he loves you too much to let the wrong people
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: stay attached to your future. He knows the voices, he
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: knows the relationships, he knows the support that you need
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: with where you're going. But just like he brought Ruth
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: into a divine connection that eventually positioned her in the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: lineage of Jesus, God is leading you toward divine purpose too.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So today, take the pressure off. Release what God says
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: is finished. Trust him in the transition. Believe that if
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he allowed somebody to walk away, oh, it's because he's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: preparing somebody better to walk in. Your story doesn't end
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: with who's left. God is sending who's next. Come on, Jesus,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: oh Father, thank you for being the God who gods
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: our relationships and our steps. Give us peace to release
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: what no longer serves our purpose and faith to trust
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you when connectionshift. Help us to deserve those who are
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: as signed to our destiny, and to walk confidently into
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: every new season you plan for us in Jesus' name.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That's your word for today. Take it applied to your
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged and inspired.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It's your early morning Praise Party. I am Sherry Nacky
