  "I went away full, but the Lord has brought me back empty. " Naomi says this when she returns to Bethlehem from Moab with her DIL Ruth. It must have been so hard to just lose everything, her husband and her two sons. With nothing left what more could Naomi say. It almost seems like the Lord has left her to fetch for herself. So disgraceful before her friends. What was left was a life of emptiness and mourning. No matter what we go through, though on the outside it looks like we have lost everything... God is preparing the best for us. His favour will always be upon us even through those difficult humbling times. Don't give up during that season when it seems everything is over. It might just be time for a new season, a new beginning. I love this passage Ruth 4:13- 17. 13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son. 14 Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel! 15 And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him." 16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him. 17 Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi." And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
  What a blessing. God truly turns our mourning into dancing. He is so good. God has a great plan. And even through the barrenness he is working out that awesome plan for our lives.
