So beautifully written. Ruth's strength, courage and character shine through this story.

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you see her in this! If you haven’t seen the two previous reflections on Ruth, they are The Harvest Has Begun on Ruth 1, and The One Who Noticed Her on Ruth 2. Blessings! 🙏

Thanks for letting me know about the other 2 reflections.

You’re welcome. I should probably notate them in each reflection but I’m not very good at knowing how to do that!

As women of God, are we not all Ruth's? Waiting, believing, sharing responsibility. Holding on to the promise of eternity with the Great I Am. Within us, experiencing His love and care for each one of us. Steadfast and whole, we cling to the truth of our Lord and Savior, who has promised to take care of us forever and ever.

Just heard a sermon that was (tangentially) related to this yesterday! Our pastor was talking about God’s wings of protection over us, referencing various passages including the ones from Ruth you mentioned, and also drew a connection to the hemorrhaging woman touching the edge of Jesus’ garment, which is believed to be a prayer shawl with the corners being “wings.”🩷😊

I love this! Yes they are connected. I had to save that for another reflection as it would’ve been too much to include but there’s a very important reason why she touched the hem of His robe!
