I have just read about Rachel and Leah in my Women of the Bible book. I feel right now how Leah feels in my own marriage of not feeling loved. But God is the ultimate Love that I really need and realize I long for. Only the Lord can sustain me

Grateful for this message

Thank you for a touching message

I needed this wonderful message. Thank you so much.

This is wonderful! Thank you so much! This has really touched me, and I know God has healed me of my past hurts of rejection and being unloved! I shared this with my group because I know what it feels like, and I know this will help those who are currently feeling that way! And you are so right, once you learn to appreciate the relationship you have with God, and begin spending more time with Him...everything else doesn't seem to matter as much! God bless!

Hi sister this is nice you put this out on here. However I wanted to ask someone, isn't it God's doing in making Rachel attractive and beautiful in appearance and figure and Leah not so. It's quite hurtful in a way I would've wanted God to make me beautiful and attractive too but instead I am ugly and filipino and this is me now and till eternity while the beautiful people he made who love them will also be beautiful as they always are to eternity too. I know Leah has suffered alot and God used that to turn her focus on him, but when I really think about this isn't it God who had the power to make her beautiful too and create her nice? Doesn't he know how hurtful it is to be ugly and badly shappen and apart from rejection from people the main thing is we can't even love ourselves. How is it God makes beautiful people it's not to say all of them are shallow there could be those like Queen Ester who walk closely with God and is now in heaven still being as beautiful if not more there for eternity whereas someone like me is destined to be ugly and filipino and will still be ugly and filipino in heaven even if I won't have such thought so it by that point it's the truth it's the reality of it all and it hurts it breaks my heart. Doesn't God know what it's like to not be loved by my sons father because I am ugly and filipino but he being Mexican loves a girl who is like himself very beautiful and attractive and great in figure and has a nice personality and is Mexican too. What is so bad with God handing beauty and making us all lovely? I don't mean this to be superficial or vain. I know we all age but in heaven ill still be Filipino and ugly too and the beautiful nice Jesus followers children of his will be beautiful in heaven as they are here originally created to be so. How can I not hurt with my existence like this. Its not fair. As I see here you are thankful sister and praise God. I want that but I don't know how to love God when I feel like it's him that did this. Before I could even be rejected by people he had the power to make me beautiful and well but he didn't. At times I feel like I wanted to end my life. I need to carry on and live for him if that's all I have and no one else. But it made my faith and love for him harder to do. I know I should be thankful that he can let me in heaven but it doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt . :(

@@myka8712 I understand what you're saying about feeling ugly and feeling that God is unfair. Sometimes we focus on one particular man's attn and think all men will see us the way he does... Now that you are not with your ex, you are free to find one that does find you beautiful. Everyone will not see you the way you or your ex sees you. The right one for you will see your beauty. Don't lose faith.

@@angelicavazquez6946 yes my sister but it's not just one men it's the truth I am Asian I am Filipino but aside from that im also really ugly and how does it ever make sense that God's out here making beautiful attractive people who are themselves forever even unto heaven and make some of us very ordinary plain and ugly and where ourselves forever too. It's not like I choosed my ugly genes. It'd not like I choose to have my parents and choosed then filipino and choosed them ugly I didn't do that. And I'm forced forever being Filipino I'm forced forever to be Asian and I'm forced to be this ugly person that I don't want to be. Yet God's here doing extraordinary wonderful majestic attractive beautiful job on others who are stunningly beautiful and will be in heaven too and who can be beautiful on the inside too. Did I choosed to be ugly. How come God made Leah ugly and her sister Rachel beautiful when they both come from the same parents. It's quite sad because Leah is forever the ugly Leah and Rachel the beautiful Rachel forever. I didnt choosed to be born Filipino to be Asian or have this ugly genes and be this ugly disgusting chinky eyed flat nose ugly girl that I am it just happened and I'm that forever.

So good.

Unfortunately RT has gone way beyond what he should have said about the unloved woman. There are many less attractive woman who are deeply loved and celebrated by their husbands. I so wish RT had conveyed to the limping woman that came to him every week how awesomely beautiful she is, just because she was made in God's image. Maybe she would then not have taken her own life. What a sad story. I get what RT is trying to tell us about Leah and how blessed she was by bearing Levi and Judah and being in the generational bloodline of Jesus. But his remarks about how he sees beauty could be deeply wounding and damaging to women's self esteem. RT should try and see through the eyes of Jesus. He is speaking in pure humanism about the beauty that God has bestowed upon certain woman and it is this spirit that is destroying marriages. I must say some of his other sermon's and books have deeply impacted my life. He is a true follower of Christ and I do like listening to him and reading his books. But bits of this sermon should rather have been left unsaid. Unloved woman can still focus on being loved by God, as RT has tried to encourage unloved woman to do. I am hoping he will read this comment and re- record this sermon prayerfully. I know he means well, but he is seriously missing the mark with this important message.

This story is for everyone not just women.

I'm Leah. All I have ever done is love my husband unconditionally and all he has done is betray me.

I thank you so much for this timely message! I have truly been Leah. I even said " surly he will love me now!" Well four babies later... I know He loves me. Honestly it is hard to feel His love at times. Intellectually , I realize the issue is with me, not God! I will praise... Thank you, I will win the war! K.J.

The battle is not yours; but God's! 2 Chronicles 20:15 Just Praise Him!

There are many unloved men in this life also.

Very disturbing story about the German woman, hard to believe no one could help her? I can’t help but wonder if anyone around her feels at least partially responsible?

Gen 38:6 And Joseph was handsome in form and appearance

I am beautiful and have sought my whole life to be obedient to God, to try to sense whether he approves of me. God gave me a husband who is materialistic and understands that yes, I am beautiful, but notices every other beautiful woman *anywhere*, online, at the carwash, anywhere. And I am aging. I serve only him, do not have time to do anything other than serve him (he is annoyed if I sign up for church service). I encourage him, listen to his thoughts and vents, and I am his sex doll/robot. God gave me this man and I am totally stuck, wanting to be obedient and feel something reward for this obedience but like RT says, am absolutely certain that my only relief will come at death. I long for death every moment of every day, and can only conclude that because God loves and has mercy on my husband, He keeps me living to be my husband's servant (his life would be so inconvenient if I died!). There is no way of seeing this as God's love for me, why can't He just take me? We have no children, I'm not redeeming Isreal over here. I'm beautiful, and an obedient servant, and I beg and plead for death every moment.

But thats not Leah's fault it's gGod's. God was the one who decided that the two sister who both came from the same parents- he decided to make Rachel stunningly beautiful and Leah unattractive and plain all that Leah experienced and the rejection from people is just a byproduct of God's decision. It's nit like Leah signed herself up for this or choose to make herself an ugly girl.

So is its Gods fault that you write this post? We indeed have been given free will to do what we want in spite of how it will effect others. Did you know that Jesus was unattractive as well. God does not go by the outer appearance but the inner. God requires us to treat each other with love regardless of how we feel or what has been done. Because God loved her despite how Jacob was treating her, God open her womb to show her His love. This story is not just a literal story but figurative. How many of us have been unloved or mistreated by those we are entrusted to? However is that Gods fault? He gave us choice. Like lets say one of your kids does something illegal. Is it your fault? I mean you raised them. No its not because they are held responsible for what they do. Also, Leah gave birth to Gods promise/ inheritance...many of the 12 tribes of Israel. She was a part of the promise. I pray that God gives you revelation and peace. Enjoy your day

@@piecesofdanielle5755 I always thought it was God's fault not to be offensive on here. I grew up thinking it was. In my head I always thought well Rachel and Leah are siblings and they share the same parents. Any siblings would pretty much share some similar features here and there but bible describes them as being complete opposites. Bible describes Rachel as the modern day what would be a model beautiful in appearance and figure and her sister not really well we get the picture. If anything I tell myself, sure God did bless Leah and made up for the deep rejection she faced but isn't God the first to be at fault here because we all know he made the two sisters polar opposites Rachel was lovely and beautiful and Leah was that person that gets overshadowed and seen as the less then the one that gets compared to her sister. What did God expect? Pretty much this would happen and Leah knew this is the kind of treatment she would receive from people. She knew she wasn't pretty she knew she was the shadow of her sister and this is the expected reaction and treatment from her dad and people with the two women. Why couldn't God make her lovely not the same but beautiful but different surely I don't think she would have no one at least any wanting to marry her and see her for who she is so that she wouldn't have her be put in this deceptive scheme by her dad to get married with Jacob because no one wanted her. What did God expect. Did Leah ask to be a Leah she didnt. And yes he made up for it but he was the first responsible maybe he didn't have to do her in that way why should their be Leah's in this world they hurt bad nobody has to question their value or feel less than but reality is not all women are created the same. Some women are beautiful and attractive physically and can love Jesus and be beautiful on the inside to in their character they can have grace for all we know not only is Rachel very beautiful attractive, stunning but maybe she also has a stellar personality, there's women loving Jesus and just as attractive on the inside and then there's also people like me who are very ugly and unattractive for a woman and in all honesty I felt like I had no redeeming qualities I am also ugly if not more on the inside just as I am on the outside. The thing is we can't control this things and it hurts. Leah couldn't control that she had to be Leah eitherz more than anything I don't think it's just the fact that she was unloved, rejected, overshadowed, unheard of but also she didn't love herself at all and my prediction too that she didn't feel like she was a woman, didn't feel like she Could get herself to like her. I could be writing longer here but I think I'll stop here. Maybe I'm wrong for blaming God but that's how I feel. Please let me know your comment(s). I know it's messed up I think this way or blame God for it but I really think it that way. Thank you

@@myka8712 If we live a life for man, how can we live for God? If a womans value is only in her beauty, then what happens when it fades? God blesses us all differently. Some in looks, education, understanding, etc. We all get a portion of what He desires for us. As a woman, yes I want to look my best but it is indeed my best. How dare I suggest that God desire for me is unworthy. This is the problem with man. We are never satisfied. If i live my life based off how others see me, I wouldnt go far. God looks at the heart. Yes, God could have made her beautiful, but he chose to make her Leah. If we continue to focus on what God didnt do, should have done, etc life will past us by then when we stand in front of Him then what? Well God you didnt make me beautiful so i spent my life in idolatry, bitterness, depression, etc. Do you think we will inherit eternal life? The enemy will keep you distracted and questioning God like he did Eve. Isn't what God sees you as enough?
