Call Me Blessed: Naomi

Ruth 1:11-13⠀
⠀
“Naomi cannot see the gift in front of her. In her grief and her fear, she misses the fact that Ruth stands before her, ready to be “all in” for her and with her, and she tries to send Ruth away from her. What she doesn’t recognize is that God has a plan for the rest of her life, it’s better than any plan Naomi can imagine, and Ruth is integral to that plan. But first, she has to surrender to His will and except the friendship and the loyalty of her daughter-in-law.” - Elizabeth Foss
