Genesis 24:60-67
Devotional:- "Then Isaac brought her into
his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he
loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death". (V. 67)
A fundamental
attitude of love is to welcome others. When I say welcoming, I
mean accepting other and allowing others to share with us. Several times we
will find ourselves among people that we do not anything in common
with. One of the first principles of love is
to welcome others.
It was a divine
assignment for the servant of Abraham to locate a wife for Isaac. He
trusted in God and he was successful to bring Rebecca to
Isaac. Though meeting her for the first time, Isaac welcomed Rebecca.
She was said to be beautiful but it does not mean she was an angel with a
perfect body. Isaac threw away all the minuses and welcome Rebecca.
It's a sign of pride when
we resent people. We have the right to chose whether to relate with the
people or not. We have a right to determine the level we can allow people to go
with us in relationship, yet, we are not to be irritated when meeting with
people (Romans 5:8). Give people the benefit of doubt to prove their worth.
Spouses, please accept yourself and not comparing your spouse to
another (2 Corinthians 10:12). There is no greener grass at the other side
of the fence. So, looking at other person as better than your spouse is a sign
of weaknesses in you. Whatever you want in your spouse, God can help you to put
them in place. Celebrate what God has given you and be happy. Peace
PRAYER: Lord, give me a
true heart of love
“Every bad person needs a
good person to make them good. Be the one”
