Loved Like Rachel

Genesis 29–30


Most of us don’t fear failure. We fear being unseen.


What if you did everything right and still felt overlooked, unheard, or unwanted? In Genesis 29–30, we discover that this familiar story isn’t a romance. It’s a warning. And it isn’t primarily about Jacob or Rachel. It’s about Leah.


Leah lived in a Rachel world. Unpreferred, unfavored, and longing to be noticed. With every son she bore, she searched for validation.

“Now I am seen.”

“Now I am heard.”

“Now I will be loved.”


But nothing changed until Judah.


When Leah stopped naming her pain and started naming her God, everything shifted. Praise broke the cycle of comparison. And the unseen woman became the great-great-great-grandmother of Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah.


This message is for anyone who has tried hard, given much, and still feels overlooked. You may feel like Leah, but in Christ, you are loved like Rachel.


👉 Watch, reflect, and be reminded. God sees you. God hears you. God is at work, even when others are not.


“This time, I will praise the Lord.” (Genesis 29:35)
