Our limits direct us, but they don't define us. We are given a lead role in God's mission.

Today the hero of our story is a woman. Not just a woman, but one with severe limitations. She's a widow, she's barren and she's a foreigner. The interesting thing is that even though the odds are stacked against her she is not a charity case. Yes, God meets her need and He also asks her to contribute. We all have limits and we all have a lead role in God's mission. Today we learn that our limits don't define us, they direct us. Welcome to the story of Ruth.
