Bible Question:
It seems that many parents name their girl children "Sarah" I'm wondering what's so great about Sarah? After all perhaps if Abraham had had a different wife things would have turned out better. She did not believe God, took matters into her own hands and when the outcome was disastrous, sent her maidservant and illegimite child away. So once again, what is so special about Sarah other than the name meanining "princess". |
Bible Answer: Hello Nadege, Welcome to the Forum!! I'm most happy to realize that Sarah was not the "perfect" model of a perfect human being, not even a perfect woman - that leaves MUCH hope for me and all others who are not yet perfected!! As to why God falls so in love with particular people, we don't know, we just know that He does - Abraham, Moses, David, etc. Again, that leaves great hope for all the rest of us imperfect folk. I would have been very proud (the good kind :o) ) to carry on her name!! Cheri P.S. By the way, Abraham had the very wife that God had had in mind for him from the very beginning. |
