God Remembered Rachel

"God Remembered Rachel" was subsequently one of the many titles I had to choose for my poetry book. This title stood out the most due to its significance to me. A fellow colleague in the gospel preached a sermon with the same title a while back, and I never forgot it.

The biblical account of Rachel, though painful at times to read about, ultimately had a wonderful ending. I loved the fact that Rachel learned through trial and error to trust in a God, who promises that you will reap if you faint not.

At the end of this story, God opens her womb, so she can bear Jacob two sons. They are the evidence that though she sowed in tears, she reaps in joy.

This book should shed light on our dark situations, give hope when you feel you don’t have any, as well as provide joy and laughter. I hope that we realize that if God remembered Rachel, He will remember us too!
