Hannah is more in awe of what God has given her than she is sad to give it up.
The cries of Hannah—"don't forget about me"—are fulfilled in the cries of the cross, where Jesus asked His father why He'd forsaken Him. And because Jesus tasted that pain for us, we can know, even in our worst pain, that we are not abandoned.
You will not be able to love like Ruth and Boaz until you really know how well you've been loved by the heir of Ruth and Boaz' great-grandson David.
Like Ruth, our redemption is done for us, and without our help...
Jesus is not just the true Boaz; He's the better Boaz because he didn't need anybody to suggest the idea of redeeming us to Him.
In the path of love, a resurrection follows every death. Watch as Ruth and Naomi begin to experience theirs.
How should we respond when God writes hard chapters into our stories?
Nothing is harder, or more beautiful, than loyal love.
This is Ecclesiastes' last word. Thankfully, it's not God's last word.
None of us are getting out of here alive. How can we face this reality with hope?
Even though Ecclesiastes recognizes that wisdom is temporary, it's still better than foolishness. So, we're encouraged to be wise and choose the better way over alternatives that seem easier.
