"Leah conceived and gave birth to a son and she called his name Reuben, because she
said Yahveh has seen my affliction, for now my husband will love me. And she conceived again and she gave birth to a son,
and she said, for Yahveh has heard that I am hated, and he gave me also this, and she called his name Simeon."
Genesis 29:32-33
When Yahveh saw Leah's affliction and heard her cry, He was moved with compassion and ministered to her deepest need
– the need to be loved. From this we learn to become more sensitive to the pain of others. Learn to recognize other
people’s pain, even when they do not express it verbally. The more you are able to feel other people’s pain, the
more opportunities for ministry you will have.
