Then Ruth came quietly, uncovered his feet, and lay down. 8 Around midnight, Boaz suddenly woke up and turned over. He was surprised to find a woman lying at his feet! 9 ‘Who are you?’ he asked. ‘I am your servant Ruth,’ she replied. ‘Spread the corner of your covering over me, for you are my family redeemer.’ - Ruth 3:6-9

1. MINIMIZE Loneliness

God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. - Psalm 68:6

2. EMBRACE Vulnerability

My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. - 2 Corinthians 12:9

3. ACCEPT Risk

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. - Proverbs 3:5-6
