The God Who Sees

(This is an excerpt from my devotional... I have it starred, marked up & page tagged... didnt want to do anything with it, except just share exactly how its written ... a letter from God to you)


The angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, "Hagar, what's wrong?  Do not be afraid!  God has heard the boy crying as he lies there"
-Genesis 21:17

Beloved, I notice everything & hear the cry of every broken heart before it is uttered.

When Hagar & Ishmael wandered in the desert, each feeling broken & alone, I was there with them.  After all, I sent them there.  Even though they were not to be part of the plans I had for Abraham, I still had plans for them.

I could never abandom them.

Hagar knew me as "the God who sees." 

I am the God who sees you, child.

Just as I heard Hagar & her son, know that I hear you in your desert place - the place where you have lost hope.

I know that lost dream, that agony of despair

Dont give up, beloved. 

I still have good plans for you & will provide for you.

I will never abandon you.

-God

I love this, BIG TIME, and so grateful I can verify that it's all true, especially after the valley God has brought us through!

Even the simplest words have the deepest impact. That's how I would explain this.

Friend--that's powerful. :)

I've been feeling pretty despondent lately and this is exactly what I needed to read. Thank you!

I love you!
