Ruth 1:16-17, The Message

"Don't force me to leave you; don't make me go home. Where you go, I go; and where you live, I'll live. Your people are my people, your God is my god; where you die, I'll die, and that's where I'll be buried, so help me God—not even death itself is going to come between us!"

Just as Ruth made this promise to Naomi when she chose an unfamiliar land over the comfort of her own people, so I too make this same covenant to God tonight. I pledge to go where to the places God gives me as "home" whether familiar or not, I chose to live there with all my heart and not look back. I promise to do my best to love all people the way God loves them; to teach and show them my God. No matter the cost, my life is His.
