The parents of noble character who have right value …

The parents of noble character who have right value pray for their beloved children’s future spouses

who have noble character which is worth far more than rubies:

 During the Wednesday night prayer meeting a little while ago,

I thought about Ruth who was a woman of noble character (Ruth 3:11).

After I preached one thing about who are the Christians of noble character

and we have prayer time together.

That one thing is that the Christians of noble character seek God’s grace.

This is what the Moabite woman Ruth said to Boaz as she bowed down with her face to the ground:

“Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me--a foreigner?” (2:10)

And then she said to him, “May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord” (v. 13)

Ruth couldn’t understand why Boaz was gracious to her and she was very grateful for that grace.

At the same time, she wanted to continue to find favor from Boaz.

This is a woman of noble character who longs for grace.

I want to be a Christian of noble character.

I want to know and long for God’s grace more and more.

Those Christians who know and long for God’s grace humble themselves before God

And worship Him, confessing that

“Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me” – a great sinner?

I think it’s natural for those Christians who get to know God’s grace that

They cannot understand with their reason why God gives grace to such sinners like them

And they aren’t able to handle that grace in their hearts.

Just as grace abounded all the more where sin is increased (Rom. 5:20),

The more I realize m sins in depth on my journey of faith

God’s grace to such chief sinner like me (1 Tim. 1:15) will be abounded all the more.

I want to swim in the sea of that grace.

Even though there are wave and storm of dangers

such as crisis, suffering and pain on the surface of that sea of grace,

I pray for the Lord to change my heart to be like Jesus’ heart (Phil. 1:8)

like the pearl oyster that makes pearls under the deep sea

even in the midst of wave and storm of dangers.

Therefore, as I confess like Paul, “I am what I am because of God’s grace”

I want to work harder than others, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me (1 Cor. 15:10).

But not I but Christ who lives in me (Gal. 2:20).

And after I have done all that the Lord has commanded with the power of God's grace,

I would like to humbly confess: ‘I am unworthy servant, I have only done my duty’ (Lk. 17:10).

I want to be such Christian of noble character first.  So I pray.

And I and my wife as couple should become Christians of noble character.

As we do so, we must pray for our children so that they may become Christian of noble character.

Then our children will pray and seek their future spouse of noble character

as they live their Christian life of noble character.

The reason is because a spouse of noble character is worth far more than rubies (Prov. 31:10).
