Rachael and Leah spent their lives in a pit of envy and competition not being aware of the greatness of their destinies.
The obscure land of Haran carried the fragrance of camel's dung and roasted sheep meat. Haran was old and scary looking in nature, the mountains there were hinged on the bones of their dead ancestors. The vegetation had quietly taken a bow because of the over treading nature of people who lived there. Old father Abraham treaded towards the promise land from his ancestral home "Haran" .
The town "Haran" still smells of "defeat, past, loneliness, and death". Jacob the guy who stole his brothers birth right was up to no good strolling towards a land the lord had warned them to depart; Rebekah his smart crafty mother must have known more than the lord who had warned their father Abraham not to return...
He finally reached the land he desperately sought for and there he found a young village shepherdess called Rachael; a slender looking beauty, fragile to the eyes and soft in her delicate parts, her hair sparkled of lemon splashed in waters and the skin that was carefully crafted out by the lord was succulent because of the luscious application of goat milk on it. As his eyes dug into her soul, he fell in love and that was the beginning of their great journey!!
As time hit the heated rocks of Haran, the get together broke into marital longings and Laban his trickster uncle beckoned on him to go ahead with his desires. Unknown to the two love birds, Laban had a plan to keep Jacob working for him as long as forever.
Jacob finally took the long rope and asked for Racheals loving hands on a marital destination; so much Joy filled the atmosphere as it was a great opportunity to be permanently joined to the one who shared ties with them.
On the night couples meet their fantastical longings and splashes of desires that have been bottled up for years, Jacob's fantasies breaks loose as all he had worked for was a piece of waste; the one who laid carelessly by his side wasn't the object of his toil by the lonely Leah.
The tussle then broke loose when the battles between thrones began. Racheal who carried the affectionate spot of Jacob realized that she was Barren. Rachael realizing she was Barren became envious of her sister. She exclaimed to Jacob give me children or I'll die. Leah who was also a red headed sister wasn't wise enough to call he sister to a peace summit, wared hard against Rachael despite being aware of how insecure she was. The two ladies in lonely Haran spent their lives in that sheep tent of a house in competition on something so trivial as who would reproduce more children; what boring lives they must have lived. How wish these women understood the importance of their existence on earth then they would have spent their lives building their boys up in the lord.
After the tiresome journey of Rachaels envies and competitions, the lord still blessed her immensely with one of the greatest children in biblical prophecies. She must have ended her life in disillusionment and depression after knowing the lord never forgot her.
The greatest of mishap was that's the ladies didn't know the lord yet they built the Jewish dynasty which still stands firmly until today.
God had a reason why he created Racheal and yet he closed her womb because he had a plan. All these was calculated so that Joseph would be borne at a time when he was go to save the children of Isreal from the aggressive famine that came upon the world. Striking that the most gifted souls are usually the ones limited by these mental holdups.
Get over your insecuirities and get on either the life God has for you through the knowledge of God's word. Get to know what the word says about you and believe it for that's all that really matters!!
You are special and unique!
