Genesis 29:21
"Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her."
Key Reflection
Jacob's long service to Laban appears short due to his deep love for Rachel, illustrating how intense affection can distort one’s perception of time. This passage foreshadows Jacob's future trials and the enduring nature of true love in contrast to worldly delays and tribulations.
