Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Jerusalem, there lived a poor widow named Ruth. She was known throughout the city for her kindness and humility, despite her impoverished state. Her story reminds us of the scripture in Proverbs 19:17, “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.”
Ruth lived in a small, dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city. Despite her circumstances, she always had a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone she met. She embodied the spirit of Psalm 140:12, “I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.”
Every day, Ruth would walk to the market to gather leftover grains from the floor, a practice known as gleaning, which was allowed for the poor according to Leviticus 23:22, “When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the LORD your God.”
One day, while Ruth was gleaning, she caught the eye of a wealthy landowner named Boaz. He had heard of Ruth’s kindness and humility and was moved by her plight. He decided to help Ruth, reflecting the scripture in Proverbs 14:21, “Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.”
Boaz invited Ruth to glean from his fields, ensuring she would always have enough to eat. He treated her with kindness and respect, embodying the spirit of Proverbs 22:9, “The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.”
Ruth’s life improved significantly due to Boaz’s kindness. She was able to provide for herself and even help others in her community. Her story serves as a reminder of the scripture in Luke 6:38, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
In the end, Ruth’s story teaches us about the importance of kindness, humility, and generosity, especially towards the poor. It reminds us that God cares deeply for the poor and rewards those who help them.
I hope you enjoyed this story. It’s a reminder of how the Bible teaches us to treat the poor with kindness and generosity. Remember, “The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.” (Proverbs 29:7)
