Let Him Go

I was inspired to write this blog after watching, “The Encounter.”

Part of God’s perfect will for us- women- is and has always been for us to have our Boaz to find us. But because of this fallen world not all of us will experience the great pleasure of having a Boaz to discover us. One, there are way too many who do not know who they are and whose they are. So he wouldn’t even know where to begin to look for you. Two, we want what we want when we want it and so we decide to help God out.

Impatient, many will connect themselves to men that God never desired them to be with. In fact, some are not only connected, but are about to enter a covenant relationship or at the least would like to enter a covenant relationship with someone that God does not desire them to marry.

Your excuse, “But I love him.” Yes you do. Your heart is tender and long for that perfect love. Are you settling for one of Boaz relatives?  You’ve heard the joke. That relative is with you now because he is bored and you are there.  He doesn’t have enough God in him right now to make the good, God fearing husband God wants for you.

You are unevenly yoked! God doesn’t want that for you. You have faith and a relationship with the Father and he doesn’t. What can become of this relationship?

“I can change him. I can make him my life’s ministry. He will learn of you Lord by my example.”

No, what will happen is that he will grow tired of you. He will start looking for his next adventure and eventually he will grow to resent you and your God. Instead of bringing him closer to God you will be the source that pushes him further from God.

Let him go! Pray for him and one day he will find his way. He will find God. But by the time he does your true Boaz would have found you and you wouldn’t even consider the possibility of a him.

Let him go……………
