Long term Relationship

Pushing away people who you need in your life

Ruth 1:8-14
And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each to her mother’s house. The Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. 9 The Lord grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband.”

So she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept. 10 And they said to her, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”

11 But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? 12 Turn back, my daughters, go—for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, if I should have a husband tonight and should also bear sons, 13 would you wait for them till they were grown? Would you restrain yourselves from having husbands? No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord has gone out against me!”

I cut everyone short in my life. It doesnt matter how bad you want to be with me how close you want to be to me. The second I see you trying to get comfortable, or see sometype of disintrest in me I will kick you out my life no time to get comfortable here. Yet it comes from people leaving, abandonment issues, sleeping around with only one night stands, being locked up young and having to meet tons of new people all the time people who were never consistant new faces new places no one stayed and if they did they arent here this season of my life. Nothing long term everything is short term.it can be no offense to you you can be great but I never count anyone in my life as a lifetimer just seasonal because when I want a life timer they are usually just for a season.


They are meant to be a lifetimer something long term


Ruth 1:14-18
14 Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

15 And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” 16 But Ruth said:

“Entreat me not to leave you,
Or to turn back from following after you;
For wherever you go, I will go;
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge;
Your people shall be my people,
And your God, my God.
17 Where you die, I will die,
And there will I be buried.
The Lord do so to me, and more also,
If anything but death parts you and me.”
18 When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.

Sometimes people are not meant to be seasonal but they come for a purpose a purpose that is not short term. Ruth was never meant to be short Term so kicking her out of naomis life would be a Mistake she had purpose for naomis life she was meant to be in it. It is dangeroys to kick people out your life that God put there for a reason. Exspecially if he has a purpose for them being there a purpose that is long term



The start of something long term

start

come into being; begin or be reckoned from a particular point in time or space.

Ruth 4:13-17 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son. 14 Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel! 15 And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.” 16 Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him. 17 Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “There is a son born to Naomi.” And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

This was only the start. They were married then had kids then grandkids it was something long term. Something that created a better future. Imgine if ruth would have went the other way from naomi? If she Would have pushed boaz out her life? What would have happened? Would there be a family would there be love would there be this long term relationship. So today I decided to stop pushing people away and prepare for something Longterm . HERE IS TO NEW STARTS TO SOMETHING LONG TERM




Long term relationships

long-term relationship

Long term relationship is a common, contemporary term for intimate interpersonal relationships that may be lifelong and may or may not consist in marriage

Ruth 2:5-10 Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”

6 So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said, “It is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. 7 And she said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came and has continued from morning until now, though she rested a little in the house.”

8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women. 9 Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn.”

10 So she fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?”

Ruth meeting boaz was not an accident nor was it meant to be short term. She didnt know it when she first meet him. Yet she had meet her future husband. Someone who was meant to be a lifetimer. She would have a long term relationship with him and him with her. So she would need to be careful not to push him away because he was meant to be in her life.
