Habakkuk 2:1-4 King James Version 2 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Ruth 4:13 MSG

*****
As a woman I believe that we need to push past men bashing… The truth is you need to accept that you made your own mistakes and you need to repent. Marriage is not a bad thing… it’s not evil. But marriage is a Covenant of honor, love, and a work that represents the love God has for us . If you desire to be married ask God to teach you to cherish your future spouse. He is not weak because He is a prophet. He is not corny because He only wants to listen to worship music. And He isn’t lame because He wants to wear suits and nice shoes , instead of having his pants sagging like a fool. I mean the Bible even tells us what we should wear.
And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels. Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out. And don’t forget to pray for me. Pray that I’ll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out. Tychicus, my good friend here, will tell you what I’m doing and how things are going with me. He is certainly a dependable servant of the Master! I’ve sent him not only to tell you about us but to cheer you on in your faith. Good-bye, friends. Love mixed with faith be yours from God the Father and from the Master, Jesus Christ. Pure grace and nothing but grace be with all who love our Master, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 6:10-24 MSG

Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways.
Proverbs 20:30 GNT
https://bible.com/bible/68/pro.20.30.GNT
I left God to go back to stripping and prostition …. I started dating drug dealers … and I stopped going to church. And I know for a fact that I feel like Gomer .
What do you do when you used to have the pretty clothes and good career and you left God… what do you do when people are watching you destroyed and no one wants you… wants to help you and make fun of you… what do you do when the one you said you hated (God) is who you need the most… what do you do when… when you’ve gone so low in bondage that you hit rock bottom and now you cant hide it anymore… people can see that your worthless …. you wait for the day… that God redeems you. I love Hosea .. because I am Gomer.
I look at this picture and I see myself. Completely and utterly destroyed…. and I wonder how can a man love someone that much ? How is it possible .. after all that Gomer has done and he took her as is.
Before I lost everything I used to pride myself and having three jobs, going to school, living in a two bedroom apartment (that was gated)… needing no one for anything… And I knew that if a man wanted me he had to have money… Then I left God and found myself homeless and abused…. like Gomer… I remember the times where I lost my mind because of the abusive relationships I endured … knowing that God had a Hosea for me. It takes rock bottom… it took going to the valley for me to see that I would rather have God than what the world has to offer … it took me to be left with nothing to be healed.
When I look at young girls who think prostitution and stripping is the way to go… that being a vixen or some Instagram model is the way to go …. because I know the truth .. smh
I anxiously await my Hosea…
And I really pray that women wake up and see that stripping…. prostitution… and dating gang members is not the way to go.
Diamond ,
May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord , the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Ruth 2:12 NIV
https://ruth.bible/ruth-2-12
I am someone who left God , went back to sin …. got destroyed … and then came back to God… And this is what I learned from Ruth.
When I was sin I used to date drug dealers and men who were in gangs. Actually I left God and yet He was still calling me … telling me to return unto Him. And I did… but I had to deal with the natural consequences of my sin.
When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile. Ruth approached quietly, uncovered his feet and lay down. In the middle of the night something startled the man; he turned—and there was a woman lying at his feet! “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she said. “Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are a guardian-redeemer of our family.” “The Lord bless you, my daughter,” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor. And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.
Ruth 3:7-11 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/rut.3.7-11.NIV
I guess when it comes to marriage I’m kind of like the Apostle Paul. I never wanted to be married because I was always able to take care of myself. I never needed anyone and I was kind of prideful about it… Until I lost everything … I never knew how mean people can be when your heart is broken because I always had money… I used money to fill voids of pain and accept my hurt when it was gone…
Ruth lost her husband and had to leave her family.. (Ruth 1:16-17) she had to leave something that was dead and trust God through poverty, through work, and a new found faith. What is dead in your life ? I know for me my old life in California , my wealth , and my dreams are dead… and I have left my family like Ruth … and somehow I have to faith it and gather the strength like Ruth to move forward ..
I love Ruth’s character … because let me tell you dating thugs and drug dealers are not it honey .. trust me I know from experience.
Boaz was a older man I believe and that’s beautiful. Because of Ruth I have lost the desire for a worldly man. A man that fears God, loves the Bible, and is stable is a good man. Not these stupid rappers and drug dealers… that’s a fantasy that I dont want.
I have learned like Gomer … you can leave God and be with men that buy you things but the moment … you hold your ground and your foundations of God kick in they are going to leave you. A man that loves God is a man for me. Christian men (real Christian men not pretenders) are the men that women should desire…. who wants a thug when you can have God ?
You’re left with a broken heart…. but if you work and trust God like Ruth HE (Psalm 24) will redeem you.. God I thank you in advance …
Think about your dating choices as a Christian because they matter. Dont pursue thugs, drug dealers , rappers, and men who ONLY talk about money.
Focus on God… if God sends you a prophet as a husband love him…dont make fun of him for loving God…. if He sends a witness as your husband love him… because trust me life of the other side of recovery isn’t easy. Think before you act in your relationships and ask for wisdom.
Amen ? Amen.
By His Grace ❤
