Once upon a time, there was a kind man named Isaac. Isaac loved God very much. One day, Isaac’s father, Abraham, wanted to find a wife for Isaac. He wanted someone very special who loved God too.
So, Abraham sent his servant far away to find a wife for Isaac. The servant prayed to God, asking, “Please help me find the right wife for Isaac.” He wanted God to show him the right girl.
The servant came to a well where many women came to get water. He asked, “Can I have a drink, please?” A beautiful young woman named Rebekah came to the well. She was kind and gentle. She said, “Yes, I will give you water.” She also gave water to the servant’s camels! That was very kind and special.
The servant felt happy and knew God had helped him. He said, “You are the one God chose for Isaac!” Rebekah was surprised but felt happy too. She wanted to go with the servant to meet Isaac.
When Rebekah saw Isaac, her heart was full of joy. Isaac smiled and said, “Will you be my wife?” Rebekah said, “Yes!” They loved each other very much from the start.
Isaac and Rebekah lived together and trusted God’s plan. Their love was like a bright light shining in the desert. They knew God had brought them together for a special reason.
Sometimes, love is like a warm hug that makes your heart feel safe. Isaac and Rebekah’s love showed how God cares for us and helps us find the right friends and family.
They were happy because they believed God’s promises. Isaac and Rebekah’s story reminds us that God’s love is always with us, even when we don’t see it right away.
“God, thank you for bringing Rebekah to me,” Isaac said softly. And Rebekah whispered, “Thank you, God, for this happy day.”
Their love story is a beautiful example of how God helps us find love and friendship when we trust Him.

Bible passage
Genesis 24 (World English Bible)
1 Abraham was old, well advanced in age. The LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh,
3 and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live,
4 but you will go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”
5 The servant said to him, “What if the woman is not willing to follow me to this land? Should I take your son back to the land from where you came?”
6 Abraham said to him, “Be careful not to take my son back there.
7 The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and promised me, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give this land,’ He will send His angel before you, and you will take a wife for my son from there.
