God In Between
You have choices about how you will live and interact in all of your relationships. Elimelech and Naomi tried to make it all work on their own. They leave the house of bread to go to the territory of their enemy. They discover that they cannot do it on their own. It is only when Ruth practices loving kindness that new possibilities begin to emerge. When you practice loving kindness then new possibilities will begin to emerge for you as well. The presence of God fills the space between us in our relationships. There, in that space, you will experience fully the love of God that is unending and unfaltering.
