SHALLOW OR DEEP LOVE, WHICH IS YOURS? (PT. 1)

Scripture:
‘And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; AND THEY SEEMED UNTO HIM BUT A FEW DAYS, FOR THE LOVE HE HAD TO HER.’
(GENESIS 29: 20)

ONE OF THE BIBLE’S COUPLES whose marriage portrays deep, intensive and unabating love is Jacob and Rachel. Even though it’s true that Jacob was polygamous, the truth remains that he was only so by circumstance and not by choice. So we can learn from his genuine and intense love for his true love and heart-throb, Rachel.

In our anchor scripture for today, we see how enormous Jacob’s love for Rachel was. It was such that the seven years of hard work and toil which was his dowry for marrying her was nothing in his sight! The seven years were like a few days as far as he was concerned. To him, Rachel was by far worth more than that! And he did he prove it? Yes, he did.

When he woke up in the morning on the first day of his honeymoon to discover that he was given Leah as wife and not Rachel whom he loved and laboured for, he raised an alarm! When he was asked to serve additional seven years for Rachel he promptly agreed and went on to serve seven more gruelling years; just because he loved Rachel so much!

Now, compare Jacob’s loyalty and commitment to his love for Rachel with men whose wives would travel out of town for just two days and before her return, they’ve brought another woman to their marriage bed to commit Adultery. Right in their marriage bedroom with their wife’s clothes, panties headties visibly on the clothes hanger and her shoes, handbags, all in that room, they strip naked to sleep with a strange woman whom they just picked from the Street! Do such men love their wives? No, they just don’t. Such men are treacherous!

How about the wife who leaves home for work and ever before getting to her workplace stops over at another man’s house and commits adultery with him and thereafter proceeds to work? She may call her husband: ANGEL, SWEETHEART, and any other fanciful name he loves but one thing is sure: she doesn’t love him. She’s a traitor and a betrayer.

Spouses who are lack true Love for their Mate need help very badly. They may think that they are enjoying the cheating and the infidelity but they’re destroying themselves. Thankfully, there’s hope.
