Ruth

Ruth had a lot going against her. As a foreign widow from Moabite, she faced an uphill battle when she moved to Israel. With little to her name, she relied on the generosity of people like Boaz to find her way. Despite being from the people that was prohibited to come into the assembly of Israel, Ruth was nevertheless welcomed and included through the grace Boaz showed her. Her story teaches us that God lavishes his grace on us when we least deserve it.
