Leah....despised and rejected.....from whom salvation comes
There are times when I run acorss something so aptly put, that it fits into where I am at and I don't want to lose it. This is one of those situations. This article moved me to tears, it wan't about the patriachs, or the lovely women, or favored sons....it was about the woman no one wanted....the lowly one. Her father pushed her out, her new husband didn't want her, her sister was probably angry with her, but .........God loved her. He understood her pain and cared for her. This is the really crazy part for me, I just always assumed that Jesus came from Jacob and Rachel, and thereby Joseph.....even though I knew He was from the tribe of Judah........he didn't. He came from the unloved and unwanted. The one in pain. It is a continual theme in the Bible woven throughout the stories of Jesus. It makes me love God more.
