I love multiple Leah's. When I refer to "Lover's of Leah", I'm referring to those who love the cross, those who love redemptive suffering, tests, and trials from God, the crosses Christ says we must carry daily to be his follower. I am trying to recruit lovers of Leah, but they are few. The lovers of Rachel are many.
Spiritual writers claim Leah represents the cross, and one of our biggest mistakes is to reject her like her husband did. I'm also trying to get people to love Leah in the Bible Independent of the cross, appreciate her, learn from her, and even have a relationship with her, who is my favorite woman of all time.
The moon represents Leah in Joseph's prophetic dream, so I named the moon Leah, and I write this book in honor of the most influential woman to have walked the planet, and it seems no one acknowledges her as such, so this book is an attempt to make Leah shine more brilliantly in our dark times, for the darkness glorifies the moon. I'm the only one I know of who recognizes her as the most influential female in history, and this thread is a book in her honor, which will be the longest book in honor of Old Testament Leah, in the history of the world.
I don't have much competition. I found a children's book about her, and there are books other than the Bible that speak a bit about her, but as far as books where she is the primary focus and who the book is primarily in honor of and paying homage to, I don't know of any other than the one I mentioned.
Leah was favored by God but rejected by men. Beautiful in the eyes of God who looks into the heart and soul. Ugly to the eyes of men so that her beauty would be hidden and known to God alone. Now in Heaven she bears the outward beauty that she carried hidden within the brief fleeting body she had on earth. She teaches us that being poor in the eyes of the world gets us riches in the eyes of God.
Oh my sister Leah, my cross, I'm finally glad I'm a reject, for had I been God's gift to worldly women, I would have no love for thee.
It's strange, people call me "pimp" and "chick-magnet" when I'm not acting really stupid on drugs, and it's because some women get worked up into a frenzy over me without knowing me. This is actually not something to be proud of even by worldly standards if you learn more though.
I have had women follow me at night, take me out to subway and take me to their apartment without us even knowing each other's name. That sounds great but actually it is nothing to envy. These aren't women who I care to be around and tend to be very needy, unwanted, unloved, mentally ill, drug-addicted. I now try to see Leah hidden in them all. I had one of the neighbors of these women grab me and physically restrain me from going to her place because of how crazy her reputation was, and he feared she would harm me.
I was completely clean from something I'm addicted to and can't quit, and had gone years without it, and got back on it as a result of one of these such women walking up next to me at night and literally taking me by the wrist to a restaurant then to her place without even knowing my name. I thought she was an angel sent by God.
A fallen angel maybe, for She got me back into an addiction to something I'd been free of for almost 10 years and I've been hooked ever since. I have women come up to me and tell me they want to do you know what or bring up adult topics and ask me what my favorite position is, but thing is, none of this is flattering or making me feel good and it's not because I'm gay. It's because literally every woman I actually have feelings for rejects me.
I attract troubled women, the unwanted, the abused, the unloved, and they sometimes just latch on to me and hold me tight and I hold them because they are homeless and I can tell if I don't love them no one will, not according to my definition of what love is anyway. Few people find love where a person will sacrifice anything for the well-being of another, and that is what I consider love, not a bunch of good feelings.
So I decided to try to love women that come onto me, even allowing them to do what would be considered illegal if they were male and I were female like get me very inebriated for the purpose of lowering my inhibitions to the point where they could do with me what I'd not allow with a sober mind.
My love-life is just something very depressing or frightening in the end, with just a story to laugh about with family and friends when the joke is on me, and all circumstances I'd have avoided had I not been drinking or under the influence. I laugh about it but at the same time want to shoot myself over it because it's been unhealthy, immature, reckless, and yes you guessed it, I have had more than one STD.
Every woman I had feelings for had what appeared to be a healthy fear or repugnance of me, and the only women I got with, I had a fear and repugnance for them. The more this happens, the more it unites me to Leah.
So, what does this have to do with Leah? Well, the story of Leah is a story of rejection, unrequited love, and broken dreams. I consider her whole life to be a martyrdom and I would kill myself before enduring the life of being a female who was despised by her husband unloved, unwanted, unappreciated, rejected, and persecuted by the woman she envies, Rachel, whom her husband’s heart belonged to. Women these days get divorces before letting a marriage become such a fiasco, but Leah my hero drank the bitter chalice of daily martyrdom to the last drop.
Even disaster marriages usually have a sweet pleasant honey-moon period. Leah was persecuted, despised, resented, and I’m pretty sure abused, the morning after her marriage. Unrequited love hurts really bad. I have had broken bones and prefer broken bones to be a gentle affliction compared to being around someone regularly who you have feelings for who doesn’t want you and who lives with someone who has what you envy and persecutes you. I'd rather have every bone in my body broken and be tortured to death by the worst serial killer than live an entire life like that, but Leah was made of tough stuff, and God was her strength.
Leah is unique
Leah became my hero because she is unlike other women in Scripture. The Virgin Mary and Queen Esther I do love, but they did not really earn much of anything through effort, and everything seemed to be handed to them by God’s providence.
Leah had to earn her destiny by rebelling against Divine decree, shedding many tears, praying many agonizing prayers, scheming, manipulating, impersonating someone else, taking a huge risk that sounds impossible, and breaking God’s rules, yet God blessed her and rewarded her for it. I know of no other woman in the Bible like that.
