Ruth 4:15 Inner Restorer

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the 'he' is not a separate person but the I AM within you—your awareness that can awaken and restore. When you assent to Ruth, who loves thee, you are acknowledging the inner state that nourishes life. The line 'a restorer of thy life' points to the power of imagination to renew any page of experience; the 'nourisher of thine old age' is the steady grace of consciousness sustaining you beyond the body's limits. Ruth's love, spoken here as better than seven sons, is the inner fidelity that feeds the feeling of being cared for by a benevolent reality. She represents the imagined act of devotion that gives courage, heat, and nourishment to your later years. Therefore, you are urged to regard your present circumstances as your own inner choice, a state you occupy rather than something you suffer. Restoration flows as you assume the feeling of wholeness, now, here.
