Where this name appears
“Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there. Behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by. Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down!” He came over, and sat down. / But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.”
Ruth 4, Job 19:25 · World English Bible
The relative with the right and the resources to buy back what was lost. To redeem.
Boaz redeemed Ruth not from a distance, but as kin. Christ became our Goel — taking on our flesh so He could buy us back. What you have lost, what has been stolen, what has been forfeited — there is One who has the right and the riches to redeem.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

Plant something. Schedule something. Buy the ingredients. Hope works with its hands. It does not just wait — it prepares.
Sit near someone who has it. Read the Psalms aloud. Listen to a worship song you cannot yet feel. Hope is contagious; let it find you.
