b'Ever since I learned to walk, I have had a tendency to look everywhere\\u2014except where I am going. And this has caused a lot of bumping into things and other mishaps. \\nIt\\u2019s no wonder that as I was growing up my dad would always tell me to walk in front of him so he could see me. When I was little, there was a time when I insisted I could manage and went behind him. You guessed it\\u2014as soon as he was five steps ahead, he heard a loud bang and a little girl sobbing. \\nAs we get older, we might outgrow our accident-prone nature, but we still yearn for Someone who sees us, especially when things become challenging. In today\\u2019s Bible passage, while Hagar was running away from Sarai, who mistreated her, she didn\\u2019t expect Someone saw her misery. Yet the Lord sent an angel to assure Hagar that God saw what she was going through.\\nMore than seeing her struggles, He even promised to increase herdescendants. He saw her suffering and promised to one day bring good through her difficult situation. In response, she called God *El Roi*\\u2014which means \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153the God who sees me\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (Genesis 16:13).\\nAs Christians, when we are faced with challenges, it\\u2019s easy for us to forget we have a God who sees us. God knows what we are going through. Jesus knows what we need and when we need it. He is with us, and He is working all situations for good (Matthew 28:20; Romans 8:28).
