The Need for Love

The Need for Love

The need to be loved, heard, and held... gleanings from an unloved wife.

When DOING and GIVING and SACRIFICING will not buy you someone's love. This sweet place of SURRENDER helps position us to recognize the right One who has noticed you and your needs. This POSITION has the potential and probability to shift your praise and adoration upon Him.

She still knows the conditions of Jacob's heart and the boy, Reuben, didn't change Jacob's heart toward her. She thought it would, but it didn't. So she's still in a position where she doesn't feel loved because she's not loved like Rachel is loved. And she knows it. And this is her sister to boot. So this makes it even more of a difficulty, more of a challenge. And she says, The Lord has given me a son also, and I shall name him Simon, because not only will he see me, but now my husband will also hear me. He'll hear my love for him. So she gives him another son, Simon, but it doesn't work. So this is what she does. She conceived again and bore a son. Now
