RuthSample
In this chapter, we begin to see Naomi's bitterness turn towards hope. Naomi appears excited and hopeful at the possibility of redemption. Redemption does not promise to completely take away the pain of the past. Rather redemption takes what was shattered and begins to heal it again and form it into something new. Hope is at the core of redemption. Not only is God healing Ruth, but He is also beginning to heal Naomi too.

About this Plan
The story of Ruth stands as a story of redemption. Coming from tragedy and as a foreign woman, Ruth is the last person we might expect to see the goodness of God. She becomes a key figure in the story of the Bible and the great-grandmother of King David himself!
