Scripture References: Ruth 3:1-9

From Series: "Sunburnt"

You know how it goes. You're out in the sun – laughing, living, not thinking about anything except how good the day is. And then you go inside, and the pain hits. You didn't feel it happening. You were having too good a time. But the sun was doing its work the whole time. Some of life's hardest seasons are exactly like that. Things were fine. And then you went inside. And suddenly you couldn't ignore what the heat had already done. This summer we're walking through the book of Ruth – the story of a woman who got burned by life and had to figure out what to do with the damage. If you've ever been blindsided by something you didn't see coming, this is for you. Because here's the thing about a sunburn: you don't heal it by going back outside. Healing finds you when you're finally covered up.
