I was reading Ruth this morning 
and was impacted by Boaz's response to 
the Kindness and Loyalty of      
- a foreigner   
- a person who had no place in God's chosen people   
- connected to an old woman 
that obviously God was not pleased with....   
- the whole family seemed cursed....   
- all dead except these two pitiful survivors....   

And Boaz did more than pity.
He was
Kind.
He cared enough....
to start tongues wagging I am sure
ref Ruth 2:4-16 3:7-11

And God used him
to be the Great Grandfather of David
a man after God's own heart.....

Lord,
What in my world is 'off color'
tainted with prejudice
and Yet
You have a purpose
and a perspective
that goes beyond all of that...?
What are You calling me to
Look Past?
to see the Gold....
to enter into Your amazing plans.

I am listening.
