Pastor Scott brings us through the story of Ruth and Naomi. Naomi had a life filled with suffering and loss, her husband and two sons both dead at young ages. She believed God was against her. Through the book of Ruth we see how God uses things in her life to show her his kindness and goodness to her. The suffering wasn't reversed but new kindnesses came to her and showed the mercy of God. Many of us find ourselves in the same place as Naomi, feeling God is distant or against us. But if we keep our mind and our heart open we will see the goodness of God, as he pursues us with his grace, mercy and love.
