## Resource

This message is for anyone preparing for promise after pain. In Week 4 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that restoration is possible after any level of devastation, destruction, death, divorce, or disappointment. Looking at the story of Ruth, we see how she unexpectedly became a second-time single, yet God redeemed her story and restored her legacy through her relationship with Boaz. If you’ve experienced heartbreak or loss, this message will encourage you to trust God again, make faith-filled decisions, and move forward beyond disappointment. We pray it empowers you to let God take the broken pieces of your story and restore them into something greater than you imagined.
