This story gives me hope. Sometimes I wonder why God would want to use me, someone who has both deceived and been deceived. But if God wanted Jacob as a servant, than my faults don't "scare" Him.

No matter what stage you are in your life or what your past mistakes are; "God is ready and waiting to jump into your life." I hope everyone's next choice for as long as you live "acknowledges the Almighty in your decision" This is excellent! This is incoraging and hopeful.

It is so true that He will bless others around someone who is living for God. He is wonderful, gracious and kind that way and wants all to come to Him. That is His ultimate desire, and blessings are one way He gets our attention. However the blessings that come to the one who totally and continually submits his/her life and thoughts are deep, personal, sustaining and can not even be described to another. It is that personal and can only be known in the spirit. One has to experience it for one's self and will be affected by it til we meet in eternity. That is the ultimate blessing and hope that we have for each other as Spirit-led Christians today. I like the part where you understand that God is blessing Laban for the sake of Jacob.
