A Tale of 2 Mothers - Happy Mother's Day

Leah and Rachel both lived lives marked by deep pain, unmet expectations, and comparison.Leah was unloved. Rachel was barren.Both spent years longing for what the other had, and their comparison kept them from seeing the goodness of Godalready present in their lives.But in the middle of their pain, God saw them both.Their stories remind us how easy it is to spend our lives focused on what’s missing instead of recognizing what God is doing right now.Comparison blinds us to gratitude, and striving can keep us from peace.The challenge of the message is this:What are you naming this season of your life?Will you continue naming your pain, disappointment, and suffering.Or will you choose praise before the circumstances change?God can transform pain into purpose, suffering into praise, and your story into something far bigger than you can currently imagine.
