Finding the right mate, part 5...

 Now then, if you are going to show steadfast love and faithfulness to my master, tell me; and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.”
 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “The thing has come from the LORD; we cannot speak to you bad or good. Behold, Rebekah is before you; take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has spoken.”
(Genesis 24:49-51 ESV)
Is this true love?  A pointed question that deserves an answer? How can one know?  Others can see it too.  Others, knowing those involved, looking at the details, can say: "Yes, this is the Lord's doing; this is right."  With their support, love and faithfulness can grow.
