Wilson, M.D. ATTRACTIVE CHRISTIA - After the three had wept for the econd time, Orpah kissed her mother– in- law" ( l:15). In an wer to Naomi , Ruth aid "Intreat me not to leave thee, or to turn from following after thee - ( 1: 16). Naomi mu t have been a lovely woman even when she was a back ·lider for thi heathen and idolatrou girl Ruth, loved her and wanted to be with her. We ought to cu·ltiv.ate ,the kind of spirit that cau e people to want to be with u , ,to have what we have to hear about the Lord from our Ii p ; a pirit that make them feel that they are ~afer when they are in our pre ence. To our faith we ought to add plea antnes , attractivenes and weetne . of character, a delightful attitude toward other3; o that we •attract people to us a the honey- uckJe attract the bee. Ruth con– tinue her reply ,by aying 'Whither thou goe t, I will go· where thou lodge t I will lodge: thy people ha11 be my ,people and thy God my God' ' ( 1: 16) . aomi must have been telling on1ething about God. he mu t have ,been unfolding ome– thing about the love]ine , the beauty.
