He Sees You - Annie Sherwin

I was reading about Hagar, (Sarah's servant girl who she told Abraham to sleep with in the hope of fulfilling God's promise to them of having children.) 

When Hagar became pregnant Sarah dispised Hagar, she treated her really badly and made her life a misery, to the point where Hagar had had enough and decided to run away.

Genesis 16 says an Angel of the Lord came to Hagar to tell her that she was pregnant with a son and she was to name him Ishmael (Meaning God hears).

After this,  Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me."  Then as told, she went back. 

My encouragement is whatever we face in life, God sees us. After this encounter Hagar went back to the same circumstances, but she was a different woman. The difference was she knew God was with her. 

Knowing God hears us, sees us and is with us has a massive impact on our lives and can bring us peace even if sometimes the circumstances don't change. 

HE SEES YOU!
