We want our lives to count for something, make an impact on the world or a difference in someone’s life.

The story of Ruth is full of the kind of admirable qualities that make people sit up and take notice: courage, kindness and self-sacrifice. From the midst of one of the most corrupt and dysfunctional periods of history of the people of God, comes the life of a young woman seeking refuge under the wings of God. She lives with such integrity that it inspires the salvation of a little town. Want your life to make a difference? The life of Ruth teaches us that deep impact is the result of everyday lives lived with extraordinary integrity.
