Having the Right Personality Continues...

Having the Right Personality continues....

So here's another narrative still focusing on having the right personality....This is on how Ruth Meets Boaz

One day while visiting the 'Field of Boaz' as the company was known to be, Boaz the owner couldn't help but notice Ruth (I would like to attribute this to character beyond physical looks :)), He was very pleased with her persona. As a result, he beckoned on the manager and inquired of him who she was? The Manager replied she is the Moabite woman who returned with Naomi. On hearing this, Boaz immediately instructed the Manager to have Ruth employed as a permanent staff and be given full access to all company benefits. 

Ruth was extremely thankful to Boaz though she was uncertain and curious as to why he showed such kindness to her. Hence, she decided to ask. Boaz gave a warm smile and said to her, I have heard about you and your kindness and support to Naomi your mother in-law. I am a distant relation to the family therefore, such act of kindness cannot go unnoticed to especially close family members and relations around here. On hearing this, Ruth expressed a chortle of shyness but was pleased to get such feedback.

Ruth couldn't wait to return from work as she was so thrilled to share her experience with Naomi. On her return, she excitedly narrated her experience at work to Naomi, who constantly had a smile on her face through the whole story. Naomi was very pleased with the information she had received as she very well knew Boaz and wouldn't have wanted Ruth working anywhere else but at his company; the 'Field of Boaz'. 

I personally enjoy the story of Ruth for several reasons one of which is how it highlights the actions taken by Ruth and unfolding results as a result of these actions (see story in the book of Ruth). I call them  'definite' outcomes of having a great personality. I choose the word 'definite' to emphasise the truth that though it may not be an immediate occurrence sometimes, having the right personality always breeds favour.
