Healing does not return us to what we were before the hurt....
Love
Lifted Up ~ Psalm 30
“I will lift You up, O Lord, because You have lifted me up.” This reminds me of I John 4:19, “We love Him, because He first loved us.”
Leah’s Love/Hate Relationship
Leah and Rachel were two women who shared both a father and a husband, but they did not share their husband's love. And yet even this tragic love triangle is going to show us something beautiful about the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Rachel Finished Well
Rachel start off a proud and shrewish young woman, but over the years she allowed God to humble her and give her a meek and quiet spirit, rich in patience. Perhaps Joseph learned these traits from his mother.
Filled with You
O Lord, I want to love You more, Keep Your law, Stand in awe.
Rebekah Started Well
She was beautiful on both the inside and the outside. Right from the start we see in her character a spirit of humility, joy, gentleness, patience, kindness, and diligence. See how quickly and efficiently she worked.
Martha: The “Perfect” Hostess
Can a Type-A person learn to wait on God?
Mary of Bethany: She Learned to Wait
What do you suppose was on her mind while she waited? Perhaps she was thinking of Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Σε αγαπώ (Se agapó)
God loves you with an everlasting love.
For This Cause
We who are in Christ and are married are an object lesson. But... are we teaching the right lesson?
