Before you run…

When you are at the end of your rope and you think no one sees and understands, remember Hagar. She ran from a hard place and right into the God who sees.  Genesis 16, 17 and 18 tell her story, but a conversation recorded in Genesis 16 encourages me to remember that the Living God is the God Hagar named, "the one who sees me."  When you think no one gets it, you are working alone and unappreciated, remember -- there is one who sees, and He loves you, and He has a future for you!
