Jacob was the boy that nobody wanted. But if Rachel wanted him, he'd do anything to get her. Many of us can identify with thinking that if we can just get this one thing, this one person, this one promotion, we'll be accepted. We think that the holes inside ourselves will be filled with affection, admiration and praise from others. And that may be true, but only for a moment. God sees our aching hearts, just as He saw Jacob's and just as He so tenderly saw Leah's. He sees and knows our deepest desires. And He gives us Himself, which is exactly what we need. When we lay down our wants and our desires and we ask humbly ask God to help us submit to His will, we will get what we need. God is a God who sees, as we learned weeks ago with Hagar. He lifts up the humble, the un-wanted, the rejected and He blesses them with His love and His acceptance. Tuck into the Lord and His love for you. It is not there for a moment but it is there for eternity.
