It was only AFTER RUTH suggested “Spread therefore thy skirt.” that Boaz did all that was needed to redeemed the inheritance in chapter 4:1-10. DON’T TAKE ANYONE’S WORD FOR IT, INCLUDING MINE. READ THE BOOK OF RUTH FOR YOUR SELF. Ruth pursued Boaz to find grace, was able to find favor with him, and later with Naomi’s help devised a plan to get Boaz to do all that Ruth required. And God Blessed her.

[LesterBarrie]

RUTH “went after” BOAZ in Chapter 2:2, before he even knew who she was in Chapter 2:5. Boaz insisted that Ruth glean only in his field in chapter 2:8 only AFTER she went to his field to glean… after him to find grace.” in Chapter 2:2. It was AFTER Ruth went after Boaz in Chapter 2:2 and AFTER the premeditated plan of Naomi to Ruth in Chapter 3:1-4 that She climbed in his bed uninvited in chapter 3:8.

This is funny I have been waiting and waiting for a good CHRISTIAN boyfriend or whatever and this waiting is not working for me so my question is how do you approach a guy? I'm not good in this department

All I hav to say lester is the Bible says HE who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord... Last time I checked im a "her" not a "he" and Im not goin to set out to find a man HE will find me now thats the bible thats the book..

Ladies you may be tired of waiting on your Boaz, I know I get tired too. So when someone comes along with a message like this, its easy for you to jump on it. But please study the book or Ruth (don't just read it)and you will ll see that Ruth did not pursue Boaz. Find out why Ruth did what she did and why Naomi instructed her to do so. God bless you.

BTW, just to say I'm a black woman -from Africa for that matter lol. So yes, not all black women blv that prov18:22 means women can't pursue or propose to men (Godlily). Matter of fact I find it's usually the black and/or African men that think it's wrong and look down on Godly woman as cheap for pursuing or proposing to them. So d issue isn't simply female's reluctance to pursue/propose but male arrogance when we do. Nice to see a black brother talking about and agreeing that it's not wrong tho

(4) serve God through being a man's helper, then it shouldn't hurt my pride if a guy turns me down since it's ultimately about God & not me, so after much prayer, consideration & 'sweat', I decided to ask. Hmm! Let's just say d dreaded happened. I was hurt but not cos he turned me down but bcos he did it in a VERY unkind manner 4 a xtian. Lesson learnt -it's no sin for females to pursue males (in a Godly manner) but not all xtian men have d Godly humility required to handle female interest.

[9nytuber]

(3) in decades, he'd never expressed a definite/serious interest in me & d only two things standing in my way of finding out if I stood a chance with him was my female pride -i wasn't sure if d guy was spiritually mature enough to handle female interest/proposal in a respectful, Godly way even if his response had to be a 'no' or if he'd simply make a mockery & mess of the whole thing & be proud of the female attention. Anyway, I decided that since d point of marriage is to glorify God i.e. to

[9nytuber]

(2) God & not just a marriage for d sake of having sex, kids & marital status. So, very recently after about 2 decades, I finally meet a xtian guy who is theologically sound & who I'm roughly on d same Bibllical wavelength with. We just 'saw eachother around' in Church for about 2yrs bf I left d Church, no romantic interest expressed either way. What stuck in my mind about this guy from d first day and even after I'd left was that he was the only biblically sound, single xtian man I'd known....

[9nytuber]

I totally share d same views on Prov18:22 and this video. I once pursued a guy cos of d circumstances sorrounding my decision to pursue which I'll explain. Personally as a xtian woman, d toughest challenge in meeting a mate isn't that there's a shortage of xtain men or a total lack of proposals/interest, but that there is just an immensely huge shortage of THEOLOGICALLY SOUND xtian men -which is my no 1 criteria for a marriage which would be a ministry to (contd)

2 me.. The last time I told him I was goin out on a date, he came at me real sideways. Made me feel like God is supposed 2 ordain marriages and he shows the man who his wife is 1st, then he shows the woman.. Hmm yeah just a whole bunch a mess, I just told him 2 leave me alone finally !

[NuCreature8]

Haaaa omgoodness ! Tell me y this brother stayed hittin me with that cause I would tell him when I was goin out on date sometimes. Now this was a brother in Christ that I trusted & cared for, SOLELY as my brother in Christ. But he went and started lookin at me in another manner, he's like (21) years my senior btw. N he kept tryin 2 make me believe it was God tellin him we were meant 2 b together, it was God and y was I denyin God's will 4 my life, etc. But yeah he would always say that verse
