Stolen Gods

When Laban had gone to shear his sheep , Rachel stole her father's household gods.
Genesis 31:19

                                   Stolen gods, 
Sometimes speaking
 the truth can seem critisism
while is much love.
How can gods be stolen? 
Folks  of different beliefs 
Living with misunderstandings 
How could gods enter the bag? 
People of different minds and thoughts 
Living with misunderstandings 
Why did she stole her father's gods 
after witnessing miracles 
of the God of her husband? 

                                   Stolen gods, 
the person who real loves
you direct you well. 
Jacob real loved Rachel 
and she loved him too.
Rachel loved God of Jacob without 
knowing  Him well
reason why she could also 
value ( Idols) gods and stole them 
while they could not help her.

                             Stolen gods,
A man made god
made from dust of the ground.
Which can not talk or see
Yoh! How can this ...protect and bless?
Some beliefs will remain questionable.
