Read: Ruth 1:1-18
Three widows stand on the road. Naomi is returning to Bethlehem. Ruth and Orpah must decide whether to keep walking with her. Before this becomes a familiar quotation, let it be a costly parting between people who love each other.
She told her daughters-in-law to go home. Orpah kissed her goodbye and left. Ruth clung to her. Ruth chose to stay with a bitter, grieving older woman and move to a country where she would be the outsider. Sometimes staying is the bravest move.
Ruth signed up with no relocation package. God built a whole redemption story on it, and He has not walked away from yours.
Thank someone for long-term faithfulness. Keep one manageable promise to another person.
