And yet….

Ruth 1:20

“Do not call me Naomi;  call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went away full, and the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi, when the LORD has testified against me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?”

And yet…

When life
threw her off

She
looked up

She knew
of God

She knew
about God

She had
questions

She had
complaints

And
yet…

She still
believed

She still held Him her God.

Loss after loss

Pain

Sorrow

And yet

She hoped

Believed

That God
is good

That God
is kind

And
yet…

Ruth 2:20
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!” Naomi also said to her, “The man is a close relative of ours, one of your redeemers.”
