Genesis 29

Genesis 29:20
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her.
Having absolutely zero romantic experience, I can't even imagine what Jacob's feeling at this point. I've heard many people describe their relationships this way, but usually those are the ones that end badly.

So, I will ask the question of anyone who happens to read this: is that how being in love really feels? Does time just fall away like this? Somehow, with my ADHD, I have a lot of trouble believing that I could ever feel this way. However, I am happy for Jacob, that he loved so strongly.

  1. It is an interesting conundrum...it's more of a paradox. Time can both stand still and melt away as if mere vapor. Is it worth it? I don't know that anyone will ever be able to fully answer that question for themselves until they face the true end of their time here... :)
