In the second chapter of Ruth, Boaz blesses the Gentile stranger who gleans in his fields. Ruth could've just said, 'Thanks.' However she says, 'Why have I found favor?' Boaz gives an answer, but really there's no answer except that God ordained it that way. In the same way, you've found yourself in the fields of the Redeemer. How did you end up so blessed? How did you end up saved? Was it because you were a good person? There's no good answer why you have found favor. Grace is not supposed to be explained. You don't explain grace. You receive it. If you explain it, you can't receive it. If you receive it, you can't explain it. Most believers can explain salvation. They think they did the right things, said the right prayer, and lived a pretty decent life in God. However, when you can explain why you've found favor, it's not favor anymore. There's no reason why you should be saved, except God loves you. That's why it's called 'grace.' Never stop saying, 'Why am I so blessed?' Because when you can say why, you don't know why. But when you don't know why... that's why.
