When Hagar fled into the wilderness, the Lord found her, and asked her why she had fled.
He wasn’t asking for information.
He knew.
He hadn’t missed a thing.
He was inviting her to share her story, to pour out her heart. He was offering her a listening ear.
As a slave, away from her family, she wouldn’t have found that kind of communion easily.
But in her loneliest, most vulnerable time, the Lord said, “I’m listening and I see you.”
And he does the same for you.
He wants you to pour your heart out. He wants you to tell him every detail, not for information, but so you can unburden your soul.
He sees you.
He hears you.
He knows every detail but he wants you to tell him. He sees exactly where you are, but he wants you to tell him.
Pour out your heart, infinite power has stooped low to hear your trembling voice.
He is the God who sees.
He is the God who hears.
The first person to give God a unique name, something other than God or Lord, was a woman in a mess. She saw him and it changed her, all because he was the God who saw her. The God who heard her.
You’ll know God deeper the day you realize that he has never lost sight of you, not even for a moment.🤍
