“No Matter Who Wrote You Off, God Only Sees The Best In You”

Psalms 56:8

Wrote off is defined as to dismiss someone or something as insignificant; reduce the value of; depreciate.

God is the God who sees us, El Roi. The Lord revealed this name to a woman named Hagar. She was an Egyptian servant who worked for a barren woman named Sarah. Sarah decided to have a child by asking her husband to sleep with Hagar. Sarah then mistreated pregnant Hagar to the point that she ran away to the desert. But the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, on the road to Egypt by way of Shur. And He said, “Hagar, Sarah, maid, where did you come from and where are you going?” And she said, “I am running away from my mistress Sarah.” The Angel of the Lord said to her, “Go back to your mistress, and submit humbly to her authority.” Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, “I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count.” We can rest knowing God is never unaware of what we are going through. El Roi saw Hagar, but He didn’t promise a quick fix to all her problems. He sees us, but He also sees the larger picture outside of the constraints of time. Sometimes God calls us to have a boundary and walk away from abuse or mistreatment. At times, others set the boundaries and a relationship we want to keep is over. In other situations, God calls us to stay the course. He asks us to persevere in a difficult marriage, work situation or church conflict with a new perspective, holding onto His promises.

I come by this morning to let you know in our lowest moments, God sees our pain. He hears our cries. God sees the best in us. We must never doubt His presence. We are never alone because El Roi is the God who sees. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
