If you are using devise why are you creating your own password reset token? Devise has a feature for that. http://rubydoc.info/github/plataformatec/devise/master/Devise/Models/Recoverable

In case you wonder this is what devise does when the user wants to reset his password:

  raw, enc = Devise.token_generator.generate(self.class, :reset_password_token)

  self.reset_password_token   = enc
  self.reset_password_sent_at = Time.now.utc
  self.save(validate: false)

self is an User object here

In your URL you then have to pass raw as reset_password_token parameter
