She said to them,

"Do not call me Naomi,

call me Mara,

for the Almighty has dealt

very bitterly with me.

I went away full,

and the LORD 

     has brought me back empty."

                     Ruth 1. 20-21

(Ahhhh, but she has yet to see

the unfolding of God's purposes,

                   deep and profound.

Her story is not finished yet.

And neither is yours.

Trust God into it,

                even in this,

that which we cannot yet grasp.)
