The story of Ruth and Naomi in Ruth 1:6–18 offers a powerful illustration of how God's grace operates in the messiest and most broken of circumstances. This isn't simply a story about family loyalty, but a profound demonstration of divine grace working through imperfect people in impossible situations. And through this story, we begin to see how letting others into our brokenness and scars can point to the story of Christ Jesus, who knows better than anybody of giving himself that we might have life.
