Hello Leah

Hello Leah,

This is about you, Jacob and Rachel- the other woman

Yes, you are Jacob’s wife, his rightful companion, but not his love

To him, you are just another burden that life threw at him

He believes life tricked him into being with you

You came in during his darkest hours and he took you in not realizing what he was doing

Ever since morning came, he’s treated you like you were a mistake

You also probably were aware that Jacob was not seeing right

But you delved into his life because you were desperate

It has not been easy for you especially in the early years

Jacob took Rachel in shortly after you both got married

This he did, as soon as he came to himself and he has promised to do all he can to make her remain by his side

You, he has decided to keep you simply out of duty or maybe sympathy

They put their sizzling romance right there, in your face

This is quite disrespectful

When he’s with you, you know he is making love to Rachel, his one and only true love

But Leah, God has blessed you with productivity. Jacob’s relationship with you has bore tremendous fruits

Whereas, that with Rachel has bore little or none, though he is happy

Jacob very well knows this

And this is a key reason why he probably keeps you

Sometimes, you say to yourself that even though you do deserve the consequences of your actions but do you deserve this much?

You’ve even tried to justify your act

You believed it was your time; you were far old enough to marry

And that if life were fair, you should have been

So you seized the opportunity

Well Leah, I know you’ve blamed yourself for condescending so low to get a man

But it’s about time you stopped condemning yourself for your past actions

I don’t condemn you

Leah, release Rachel. Release Jacob

Don’t die in this bitterness, pain and regret

Do not let the rejection of the years and all you’ve been through define who you are

Leah, do you want your life back?

Are you not tired of competing with Rachel?

Here’s what you need to do:

First, you need to forgive yourself

Be grateful to God for all that he’s given you

In everything, there is still room for thanksgiving. Look well and thank him

Leah, forgive that Rachel. She is shameless se?

Well, you know that it is not exactly her fault

Also, you need to accept that it is Rachel that Jacob loves because this is the truth

Forgive Jacob. Remember you tricked him into marrying you

Otherwise, he would have been with just Rachel

He’s simply being a man who wants to be with the woman he loves

You put yourself in this in the first place, remember?

Stop turning his children against him

Stop putting hate in their hearts against their father, step-mom and half brother

Do you want to raise rebels and murderers?

Who could end up being so bitter, disrespecting their father and capable of killing their half brothers

What would become of them when you are long gone?

Don’t raise monsters out of these children, Leah

Stop making jest of Rachel because she is not fruitful

It is God who has granted you the ability to ‘birth’

He is merciful, kind, and forgiving

Go to him and lay at his feet

Lay your guilt, mistakes, all the hurt, the hate, and all your complaints

You will laugh Leah

Since you’ve chosen to stay

When Jacob is with you, be a new woman. Smile, and do your wifely duties

Show you care for him, and do not nag him into doing things like you used to

Try to enjoy your time together

I know it’s hard, but give him reasons to stay

I’d also like to let you in on a secret

Leah, it’s not easy for him to walk away unlike what you think

Deep in his heart, he cares for you and he has made it his responsibility to take care of you

The truth is that he wants to contribute to your well being

He is not inhumane like you think

I’m glad I’m finally able to write you this letter

I’ve had it in my heart for a while but didn’t know how to put it in words until now

I found out and read about you in Genesis 29 & 30

Well, I’ve spoken to your husband before, a type of Jacob

He said a lot which I have incorporated into this letter.

I’m not a Rachel oo, I’m just a friend

Like I said, don’t show him this letter ooo

My heart desire is that you get your life together

Stop letting it revolve around a man and his other woman

Stop letting them influence your days on earth

Stop being obsessed about this competition with Rachel

Stop wallowing in self pity. Stop nursing the hatred

I’m Esther by the way
