When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless.
As mother to half of the 12 tribes of Judah, Leah was surely favored by the Lord, like Mary the mother of Christ. I am sure it was a difficult life for Leah to always play second fiddle to her younger sister, but God loved her and listened to her. God loves us and cares about what happens to us. He knows when we are struggling. He listens to us and helps us according to his will and timing.
Lord, thank you for knowing us. Thank you for knowing when our lives are difficult. Thank you for loving us. Amen.
