- Tetapi kata Rut: Janganlah desak aku meninggalkan engkau dan pulang dengan tidak mengikuti engkau; sebab kemana engkau pergi, ke situ jugalah aku pergi, dan dimana engkau bermalam, disitu jugalah aku bermalam: bangsamulah bangsaku dan Allahmulah Allahku; dimana engkau mati, aku pun mati disana, dan disanalah aku dikuburkan. Beginilah kiranya Tuhan menghukum aku, bahkan lebih lagi daripada itu, jikalau sesuatu apa pun memisahkan aku dari engkau, selain dari pada maut. -

Rut 1: 16-17 

I think this passage is interesting. Dari 1 pericob ini, ga ada yang ak ngerti, tp ada 1 yg aku bingung..gimana bisa, Ruth stays faithful, loyal to her mother-in-law, tho her husband has died. Tho the mother has told her to leave, she didnt want to leave. 

Instead, she stayed. She said powerful words such as "kemana engkau pergi, kesitulah aku pergi...Allahmulah Allahku..." I mean..what a close relationship she must have had with her mother sampe dia bisa ga ninggalin mother-in law nya..but accompany her to death instead. Pdahal, dia bisa balik, cari suami baru and all that stuff. But she's so faithful. No matter what, she sticks...no matter what she stays.


I dont know..but if I compare it with my relationship with God. Its like...I can always leave God...I mean...it's like so easy to leave God by slacking off etc..But, it is not until we have close relationship with Him then we would be able to follow Him wherever He may go.

Ruth followed her mother-in-law wherever she went, rite?

Its like the same. God is like our Father in Heaven...In order to be able to follow Him wherever He may go, we need to have that close relationship with HIm..

Its so true..its like..when ure not close to Him..how can you figure out His ways for you??

well, at least, I got something out of it.

I need to be on track...and need to pray tomorrow..set up a better time to have devo time.
