What does Genesis 29:31 mean?

Leah found herself in a painful position: Jacob loved her sister Rachel far more than he loved her, even though he'd unknowingly married Leah first. But God noticed her loneliness and rejection, and blessed her with children while Rachel remained unable to conceive. This verse quietly shows that God sees those who feel unseen, and He responds with compassion rather than judgment, even when circumstances feel deeply unfair. It's a reminder that being overlooked by others doesn't mean you're overlooked by God.
