Ruth 2:11-13 King James Version (KJV)
11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been
shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since
the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father
and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto
a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee
of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to
trust.
13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for
that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken
friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of
thine handmaidens.
Ruth 2:11-13 New Life Version (NLV)
11 Boaz said to her, “I have heard about all you have done for
your mother-in-law after the death of your husband. I have heard
how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth
to come to a people you did not know before. 12 May the Lord
reward you for your work. May full pay be given to you from the
Lord, the God of Israel. It is under His wings that you have
come to be safe.” 13 Then Ruth said, “Sir, I have found favor in
your eyes. For you have brought comfort and have been kind in
speaking to your woman servant. And I am not like any of your
other women servants.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
11 Boaz heard about the sacrifice Ruth was making she went with
her mother in law to a land where she didn’t know if she would
be accepted or even be able to live because she didn’t want to
leave Naomi. We are born in this world but when we come to
Christ in a way we make this same sacrifice for Him but for us
it is simply a blessing.
12 The sacrifices we have to make for the Lord, He will respond
to with blessings.
13 We are blessed by the Lord but we keep praising Him but we
are to stay humble even when we are blessed it is easy to get
the idea that we are entitled but we are His and are to return
our blessings with praising Him.
