RUTH

RUTH 1:16-17

 And Ruth said,

 Intreat me not

to leave thee,

or to return from

 following after thee:

 for whither thou goest,

I will go;

and

where thou lodgest,

I will lodge:

thy people

 shall be my people,

and

thy God my God:

Where thou diest,

 will I die,

 and

there will I

 be buried:

 the LORD do so

 to me,

 and

more also,

 if ought

 but death

 part

thee and me.

I laid these verses out in the format of poetry.  To me Ruth's address to Naomi is just that, sheer, beautiful, poetry.

Ruth is seldom mentioned in the Church, I am not sure why this is since she is listed in Jesus' lineage.  Her loyalty and love for her mother-in-law is inspirational.  I think she deserves far more attention than she receives and would recommend that women of faith, read the book of Ruth.  That they study this great woman.

She is a such a great example to women of faith.  Her story is to long to go into here and now, but she has been on my heart and mind a lot lately.  This will be the first I write of her but, I will write more.

Still musing!
