Have you ever known a person named Ruth? Ruth means "beloved" in Hebrew. I had an aunt named Ruth. Maybe your name is Ruth. But Ruth is only a name unless we can demonstrate the kind of love the Ruth of the Bible gave to her mother-in-law.
What's in a name? Today we don't seem to give much regard to names because of what they mean or imply. If a name meets our fancy we give it to our offspring.
Regardless if our name is Ruth or whatever, the principle that guided the love that flowed from the biblical Ruth --for a mother-in-law --is a great example for all of us.
