Your God will be My God.

 Your God Will Be My God

A Reflection on Ruth 1:16

“Your God will be my God.”

Not a borrowed faith, not a secondhand creed,

But a personal choice, a heart’s deepest need.

Where You go, I will go; where You stay, I will stay.

Your people, my people; Your way, my way.

“Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.” (Ruth 1:16)

No more divided loyalties, no more looking back.

The idols of the past have crumbled, the old path is cracked.

I renounce every other claim, every lesser throne.

Your God will be my God—and I am not alone.

In the valley, on the mountain, in the harvest and the drought,

Your God will be my refuge, the answer to my doubt.

He led you through the wilderness, He parted seas for you.

The same hand will hold me, the same word will make me new.

So I make this covenant, not with trembling, but with trust.

I leave behind the empty gods, the systems built on dust.

Your God will be my God—for better, for worse,

For life, for death, for blessing, for curse.

And because He is yours, He is mine.

The Father’s love, the Son’s design,

The Spirit’s fire, the eternal light—

Your God will be my God—day and night.

Amen.
