Ruth 1

​Ruth answered, “Don’t ask me to leave you Naomi! Let me go with you. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.  Wherever you die, I will die.

 

Quote: 

D. Bonhoeffer from ‘Life Together’ “Jesus Christ lived in the midst of his enemies. On the Cross he was utterly alone, surrounded by evildoers and mockers. For this cause he had come, to bring peace to the enemies of God. So the Christian, too, belongs not in the seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes.”

​Our desire is to be the church, 

close to you as breathing, Lord God.

You are our primary source of light, love and laughter,

even when in the presence of our enemies,

especially when tempted.

You do not promise an easy way,

a quiet life, success.

You call us to be faithful like Ruth.

Encourage us in the decisions of this day  

To follow you more nearly,

to love you more dearly

In Jesus strong name.
