Love Story's Backstory

Bottom line: We may not know what hangs in the balance of our choice to return, but we can trust that it is something good from the One who loves us.

The backstory of Ruth's love story is a story of famine, wrong choices, pain, death, sorrow, running away from problems, returning home, and renewed hope. Love story's backstory is a story of God's providence to take the good, bad, and ugly and work it to the good both cosmically and individually (i.e. for Naomi and Ruth). And God does it for us too. He wants us to be a part of the Love Story He is writing.
