The Power of Love

Jacob worked for seven years with the motivation of receiving Rachel as his wife (Gen 29:29). The time seemed like a few days to him. A powerful motivation goes a long way toward making life sweet. We all need goals. We need purpose to keep us going. We often set up temporary milestones (a car, a house, retirement) to keep us moving in the right direction. Ultimately we should be in pursuit of the overarching objective; the kingdom of God. Lay hold of that for which He laid hold of you (Phil 3:12).
