servant386 View Profile History	I wanna Boaz ? Posted : 29 Apr, 2010 12:41 PM I have read that some females here are seeking their Boaz but unfortunately do not expect to be a Ruth . How many Godly expectations as opposed to just demands or worldly expectations are the basis for their decision to accept or reject a man after God`s own heart who is seeking that pearl of great price ? where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Ruth 1:17 "Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me."

View Profile History	I wanna Boaz ? Posted : 30 Apr, 2010 07:50 AM I think the book isn't about the "dude" at all, but about how faith in the Lord, although you have a hard time (Ruth lost her husband and left her country for being with Noemi and her God) can change all to the better (though the women did push their luck a little). After all, this pagan foreign widow (who would ever want to marry a widow back then and have to raise another man's children, as they were regarded the children of her first man) turned out to be the grandmother of Kind David.

servant386 View Profile History	I wanna Boaz ? Posted : 30 Apr, 2010 10:20 AM You know , I mostly agree with you but it is so much more and I think you will agree with me . Is it not Romans 8:28 in action(even when we sin or dont see God`s hand in the circumstances ) ? is it not a hint for us as to what we should or not be seeking in a relationship ? Is it not a guide to do what is good and not evil when opportunity strikes , Is it not us placing ourselves under God`s wings and moving where He leads ? Is it not reaffirmation that although works are good they do not equal trust and faith in God . Who would have guessed that a foreigner would have been in the bloodline of David ? But I would like to get back on point and write this quote , "If God calls, you can leave family, you can leave your job, you can leave Minnesota, and you can make radical commitments and undertake new ventures. Or you can find the freedom and courage and strength to keep a commitment you already made. When you believe in the sovereignty of God and that he loves to work mightily for those who trust him, it gives a freedom and joy that can't be shaken by hard times. The book of Ruth gives us a glimpse into the hidden work of God during the worst of times. " Wow !! The Holy Spirit speaks through humble men of God , doesnt He ? Post Reply
SOS4EMAILFRIEND View Profile History	I wanna Boaz ? Posted : 30 Apr, 2010 12:08 PM If God calls can we leave our family, our home.... But I have the feeling that Ruth did exactly the opposite. When God called she stayed with her family: Naomi the mother of her late husband. :waving: Post Reply
View Profile History	I wanna Boaz ? Posted : 30 Apr, 2010 12:42 PM I wanna Boaz !!! Yes !!!... I would want a Man such as Boaz. A Man that sees me for who I am, as I live, work and walk through life. As Boaz saw in Ruth. She walked and lived in Total Faith, Trust, Steadfast, Devoted, learned about and wanted the GOD of Israel...A Man that finds this in a women will have found a good thing...There are many women here that are Ruths...but the men do not see with there hearts...they only see with there eyes...xo Post Reply

Posted : 30 Apr, 2010 03:11 PM Mark 10:29-30 ESV Jesus said, �Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, (30) who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life...................................Matthew 10:37-38 ESV Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. (38) And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Of course He also says .."HE WHO DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY IS WORSE THAN A PAGAN..... SO ONE MUST BE SURE OF "THE CALLING . But the point is well taken . In today`s society there are too many men and women who wont relocate because of a career or a good church or , or , or ? There are other careers and other churches that may just need what you have to offer to become a good church or a good career but if a job or a career or a nice climate or the like is keeping you from doing what Ruth did , seek the Lord for His priority and not what is comfortable for you .

servant386 View Profile History	I wanna Boaz ? Posted : 30 Apr, 2010 03:16 PM You are mostly correct . There are a lot of woman like Ruth and there are a lot of men who do not see enough of Jesus in the ladies because of the visual aspect of our personalities . I wonder why God made us that way ?

View Profile History	I wanna Boaz ? Posted : 30 Apr, 2010 03:43 PM Well...I dont know why God made people that way...I will have to ask Him when I get there...lol... Many people both men and women have a preconceived idea of what they are lookin for in a mate...Lets see...6' or taller nicely built/perportions, blue eyes, a dynomite smile an personality, dark hair and a well paying job/rich....Uuummmm....sounds like a Romance novel an we dont live on Fantasy Island...lol... Truthfully Speakin...Its the inner stuffin of the teddy bear that makes the teddy bear most worthy of our undieing affections and love...xo Post Reply

View Profile History	I wanna Boaz ? Posted : 30 Apr, 2010 07:58 PM servant, ive been floating around this thread to see how it would develop. at first after reading your first post i came to the conclusion that you were had an experience(s) where someone would not move but i read and reread your post and decided to focus on the all important inner beauty trait and secondly having uninhibited faith in God. thus far the responses have been interesting to read but not as much as your previous to a GJ comment. you said... "You are mostly correct . There are a lot of woman like Ruth and there are a lot of men who do not see enough of Jesus in the ladies because of the visual aspect of our personalities . I wonder why God made us that way ?" are you contradicting yourself on the grounds that inner beauty is the absolute most important thing? because i gathered that you endorsed total dependence on God's wisdom in blessing us with a mate. now my assumption could well be wrong. but i decided to focus on the spiritual implications of what your post seemed to explore... could you address whether you are removing men from the gift of spiritual maturity to the point where looks do not matter, and placing that reward solely on a woman's shoulders because that is how we were made? looking forward to a reply... nyanda:purpleangel: Post Reply
