"Having His Babies Won't Guarantee His Heart"

In the old testament of the Holy Bible, There is a man name Elkanah. This story is derived from I Samuel 1:1-11. Elkanah had two wives, Hannah and Penniah. Penniah had many children for him, sons and daughters. Hannah on the other hand had no children, the Lord closed her womb. Elekanah was a great provider, he gave great portions to Penniah and her children, But gave double portions to Hannah. He was deeply in love with Hannah. Penniah felt she had the upper hand because she had children, so she would provoke Hannah and cause her pain. Year after Year. In today’s terms, she was a messy and jealous woman. If she was not, she would not have teased Hannah in such a way.

Penniah was grieved by this, and so desperately wanted children. So Penniah went to a sacred place. She cried out to the Lord. Her Prayer was if God gave her a child, she would give him back to God. Hannah and Elkanah made love that same night, and God opened her womb. She gave birth to the Great prophet Samuel. This child belonged to the Lord. He led many people to the serve Lord.

The reason this story captivated me, I see so many women having children for men, who don’t love them. Yes, some of these men will marry you out of obligation, or because it is the right thing to do. However in many cases, these men won’t marry you at all, They may be in love with another women. She may or may not have kids. Having his children won’t guarantee his heart or him. A man will marry someone else, and some women will try to use the children to cause confusion with the new wife.

A woman’s scorn is brutal. But many of you made that bed for yourself. If you set out to trap a man, nothing good will come from that. Let a man love you freely, without strings attached.
