What does it mean to be truly seen, and truly not alone? In this message from Ruth 1, we explore the difference between Orpah friendships and Ruth friendships: some people are with you until it costs them something… and others stay.
You don’t need perfect words or solutions to help someone in pain, often the most spiritual thing you can do is show up and stay. And on the other side, it calls us to choose wisely: you don’t choose every season, but you do choose who walks through it with you.
You’ll be challenged to take inventory of your friendships, pursue a few life-long friendships and intentionally cultivate relationships rooted in commitment and shared faith, because one faithful friendship can become a turning point in God’s redemptive story.
