Time is Bent (Genesis 29:20)
/Are you in love?
What a wonderful feeling! Butterflies in your stomach...continually thinking about what the other person is doing or thinking...planning the next rendezvous! When you are in love, everything revolves around that person. When we are anticipating the next meeting, time drags. And when we are reunited, time flies! Time is bent when we are in love!
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.
Genesis 29:20
Jacob worked as a laborer for his Uncle Laban for 7 years in exchange for Laban’s daughter Rachel whom he intended to marry. Those were the quickest 7 years of Jacob’s life!
The greatest love we can ever experience is the love of God through His Son, Jesus Christ. When we are in love with Jesus, time will be bent. He will walk with you through your darkest moments and brightest joys. And whenever He takes your hand, you will feel the exhilaration of a love renewed! And you will want that moment to last forever. Someday, you will be in His presence in Heaven and all concept of time will truly disappear. Eternal life will be ours and the moment will last forever.
Are you in love with God? Never lose that feeling and allow God to bend your concept of time! It is the briefest glimpse of a timeless eternity with Him!
Blessings with Aloha!
Love and trust the Lord; seek His will in your life.
