The kind count on people's kindness , and they always find kindness; the faithful count on the God's faithfulness, and they always find faithfulness.

Ruth was a woman with great kindness and faithfulness. When she went out to pick up the leftover stalk of grain in the field , she looked upon people's kindness to let her do it.  She came to the field of Boaz, and found great kindness from Boaz and his servants .

Boaz asked his servants to treat her kindly, left grain stalk behind intentionally for her to pick up, and gave her food to eat and water to drink. Boaz said to Ruth," I know about everything you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband. I have heard how you left your father and mother and your own land to live here among complete strangers. May the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.”

Ruth came under the wings of the Lord to take refuge, and she found the blessing from the God. Later , Boaz redeemed and married Ruth, and Ruth was the great grandmother of king David.

So be kind to people, you will find kindness from people ; be faithful to the Lord , you will find faithfulness from the Lord.

Blessings

Bible verses

One day Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go out into the harvest fields to pick up the stalks of grain left behind by anyone who is kind enough to let me do it.” Naomi replied, “All right, my daughter, go ahead.” Ruth‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Ruth fell at his feet and thanked him warmly. “What have I done to deserve such kindness?” she asked. “I am only a foreigner.” "Yes, I know,” Boaz replied. “But I also know about everything you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband. I have heard how you left your father and mother and your own land to live here among complete strangers. May the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.” ‭‭Ruth‬ ‭2:10-12‬ ‭NLT‬‬
