Good morning, sisters! Okay, we want to know: where did you see God move this week? Last week? Because you know He absolutely IS moving, right? It could be in your family, with your child, on your job, or maybe in your quiet time with Jesus. *Your testimony matters, and it could be exactly what your sister needs today.* Please share below.

Genesis 16:13 (CSB) "So she named the LORD who spoke to her: "You are El-Roi," for she said, "In this place, have I actually seen the one who sees me? " Good morning, sisters, happy Monday! Do you know the story of Hagar? She is one of my favorite people in the Bible. She didn't lead armies to victory, she wasn't a brave queen responsible for the emancipation of her people. She was a regular person. An obedient servant girl. She's one of my favorite people because I can relate to her. I was doing some research, and read that the name Hagar means "Stranger," but she was anything but that to our Heavenly Father. Hagar was mistreated for following orders. She ran away from her mistress, Sarai, because she was so nasty to her. She was pregnant with Abram's son and alone in the wilderness until an angel of the Lord spoke to her. He gave her directions on what to do and made a promise to her. After that, she was like, " Wow (I'm paraphrasing). God, you really see me. You really love me. I DO have a purpose. I DO have a future." I've felt like Hagar before. I've felt unseen, unwanted, and alone. God in His loving kindness sent people to speak life into me, He spoke to me through His Word, and through His Spirit. Just like Hagar, nothing about our lives is ever overlooked by God. He sees your effort, He sees your tears, and He sees your faithfulness. And just like Hagar, "The LORD has heard your cry of affliction." I want to encourage you today, sisters. God knows you. How could He not? He created your inward parts, He knit you together in your mother's womb (Psalm 139:13). Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Don't be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows (Luke 12:7). El-Roi, the God Who Sees, sees you. Hagar's mindset changed when she felt seen by God. How does it change you to know that God sees you? I love y'all, Shavonne 🧡 (Read about Hagar in Genesis chapters 16 and 21)
