Jacob entered into an agreement with Laban that he would work for 7 years for Rachel. However, after the wedding night, he realized that he had been cheated. Instead of Rachel, he had been given Leah.

Before you receive your desire, sometimes you may be given a disappointment. Before you receive what you want, life may give you what you don’t want. What do you do when life gives you a Leah instead of your Rachel?

What do you do when people break their promises? What do you do when people you trusted betray you and break your heart? What do you do when you expected a big Yes; but life gives you a cold No?

Jacob did not give up, he did not complain, he did not become bitter. Instead he said, “I accept the situation but I will still pursue my Rachel, I will go after what I wanted”. That is the attitude of a winner. PURSUE YOUR DREAM.

Make a decision not to give in to disappointments. Pursue the desires of your life. Pursue your vision. Don’t settle for less. Put the Leah behind you and go after your Rachel!

I say it again; “Pursue your DREAM!”
