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

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