She came to the well alone at noon, hoping to draw water without being seen. Instead she found the one person who already knew her whole story and loved her anyway.

Peter denied Jesus beside a fire and wept bitterly. On the shore of Galilee, the risen Lord built another fire and gave him back his calling. This is what grace does after real failure.
Ruth went out to glean and just happened to land in the field of Boaz. Scripture calls it hap. Faith calls it the hand of God working through one tired woman's ordinary obedience.
