The Power of Staying
“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:”
Ruth 1:16 (KJV) |
What This Means for You
Ruth had every reason to leave. Her husband was dead, her future was uncertain, and going home would have been the easy choice. But she chose to stay. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is simply refuse to walk away.
Try This Today
Think of one relationship where you have been tempted to pull back or give up. Today, choose to show up for that person in one small, tangible way, a phone call, a text, a shared meal.
