"Love Me NOT!!"

e who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

1 John 4:8 AMPC

BELOVED, You can't make them love you especially when they didn't grow up being shown a "healthy" example of what love is in a family, in a marriage, in relationships (in general).

 They don't know how to love you or even how to love themselves, and if they don't give themselves to GOD; they never will. 

Leah wanted Jacob to love her so bad...But here's the thing, Jacob came from a family of tricksters....His mother (Rebekah) taught him how to trick his Father and his Uncle Laban (his mother's brother) had just tricked him into marrying his daughter, Leah.

So, What are the chances of Jacob (a born trickster) being honest with Leah about his feelings? 

Because the bible says, 

Jacob made love to Rachel also, and his love for Rachel was greater than his love for Leah....

Genesis 29:14-30 NIV

But was it really love he was feeling for either woman?

Or was it lust?

Think about it!!

He had two women (two sisters) in competition over him)...A competition he could have ended had he just been honest; finished the bridal week out with Leah and then just left her alone, but he didn't do that.

So, Leah kept getting pregnant; hoping to win her husband's heart. 

Bottom line: You teach people how to treat you, by how you let them treat you. They are following your example of what love is and what love isn't. 

Until Next Sunday,
