Jacob's Choice, God's Choice

Jacob loved Rachel. He loved Rachel more than Leah. When Jehovah "saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb" and she gave birth to Judah (Genesis 29:31-35; NKJV).

While Jacob loved Rachel more than Leah, Jehovah chose for the Christ to be a direct descendant of Leah, not Rachel.

If you are unloved by those closest to you, take heart. He loves you like He loved Leah. He want you to be a part of His family too.
