The Book of Ruth is a story about hope showing up where no one expects it. It begins in loss, famine, grief, and displacement. Widows. Outsiders. People who feel empty and forgotten. And yet, quietly and patiently, God is at work. Through ordinary faithfulness, loyal love, and small obedient steps, God brings redemption where there was despair, belonging where there was isolation, and restoration where there was bitterness. Ruth reminds us that God sees the overlooked, welcomes the outsider, and specializes in redeeming stories that seem broken beyond repair.
