The gospel births in us a relentless optimism because we have entrusted ourselves to a God of limitless grace. That doesn\u2019t mean we presume that everything will go our way every time. But it does mean that, by faith, we get up every day and give ourselves - energetically and expectantly - to doing the next gospel-shaped thing, confident that God will meet us with all the grace we need \u2026 and often more than we could even have imagined!
This Sunday we\u2019ll see Ruth, in love for Naomi, doing just that. And we\u2019ll see both of them finding more favor than they ever could have expected, because this is how the God of gospel grace works.
