When life is difficult, it’s natural to look for a shortcut—an easy way to avoid your pain and return to the peace and joy you once knew. As God’s children, however, we are called not to look for shortcuts but to trust God’s plan. In his four-part series A Match Made in Heaven, Dr. Michael Youssef explores the book of Ruth, telling the story of one family who took a shortcut and nearly lost everything. But God’s grace overruled, and He still specializes in taking the broken pieces of our lives and creating a masterpiece. Come what may, He will accomplish His purposes in and through us.
