Are you as desperate as Rachel?

Poor Rachel. She was all lined up to marry Jacob, but her sister Leah was given to him instead. So when Rachel did marry Jacob, a week later, there were three of them. Not a good situation.

But there was more pain in store for Rachel. Leah turned out to be a fruitful bearer of children. She gave birth to four sons. But during the time Rachel was unable to have children. This was no doubt a source of pain, shame, and anxiety for her. She longed for children, but it just wasn't happening. But out of this pain comes one of the most desperate statements found in the Bible.
Rachel said to Jacob, "Give me children or else I die!" (Genesis 30:1)

I have a question...

Are you as desperate to see people saved as Rachel was to have children?
Am I?

Do we LONG to give birth to spiritual children? This is not simply about "wanting results." It's having a Holy Spirit inspired, passionate longing to see people saved. It's even having the personal heart-cry, 'Lord, please give ME spiritual children!'
