To me, Boaz isn’t about his influence or his riches as the word of God describes him (Ruth2v1), these two things are bonuses, simply because I work hard and take good care of myself and kids. To me, Boaz is about my second chance at marriage. He is about God blessing me with a husband who will love me, my kids, my past and future.
It has been said to me time and time again, that what I believe in is impossible; I don’t expect people to understand because they don’t know where this desire roots from.
With life experience, I have learned that it is better to have what is pleasing to God, than to have what you think is pleasing. There is a great number of men in the bible and you might wonder why Boaz. Well, it is because my situation is in need of a Boaz. A friend of mine needed and has an Abraham because her situation needs that Abraham type of man. See, Ruth had land she inherited from her late husband, I too have land I inherited form my ex husband – my kids, so my Boaz will have to take me and my land.
Of cause, I have come across the guardian-redeemer who would be more than happy to have me, but not my kids. For me it doesn’t work like that, it’s all or nothing.
When it comes to God’s favor; reasoning and motivating doesn’t feature anywhere. It is a pure gift; it has nothing to do with ones righteousness. I don’t know what great favor you’re asking for from God today, but just know that your past, shortcomings and all else negative doesn’t influence God’s plans for your life at all.
