#diligentminute
Ruth had a choice to make when Naomi decide to go back to Israel.
She decided to go along with her mother-in-law instead of staying in her own home country with her own people (Ruth 1:8-15).
She did more than just choose Naomi. She chose Naomi's people and she chose Naomi's God.
Jesus tells us that choosing to follow Him, we gain more family than we lose (Mk. 10:29-3. He also shows us that spiritual family is better than physical family (Mt. 12:48-50; Mk. 3:33-35; Jn. 19:26-27).
Take a minute and say a prayer thanking God for the spiritual family you have gained.
And maybe take another minute, to send a text, give a call, or send an email to those who have been as your family in your spiritual walk.
