The God Who Sees
In a world that rushes past, you are fully seen, fully known, and never overlooked by God.
Dear friend,
There’s a kind of loneliness that isn’t about being physically alone—it’s about feeling unseen.
Overlooked. Forgotten. Passed by.
Whether you’re showing up faithfully in quiet places, carrying pain in silence, or simply wondering if your heart matters in the big picture—this truth is for you:
God sees.
From the very beginning, He has been a God who notices the unnoticed.
He saw Hagar, lost and alone in the wilderness, and called her by name.
He sees you, too.
Not just your smile—but the exhaustion behind it.
Not just your faith—but your fears, your needs, your questions.
And His gaze isn’t critical—it’s kind.
This week in The Lovely Crux, we rest in the truth that we are seen and deeply known by the God who never looks away.
+ A Gentle Beginning
Stand or sit in front of a mirror.
Look into your own eyes and gently say:
“God sees me. Right here. Right now.”
Let yourself be held by that gaze—not one of scrutiny, but of tenderness.
+ Scripture Meditation
“She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: ‘You are the God who sees me,’ for she said, ‘I have now seen the One who sees me.’”
—Genesis 16:13
This verse comes from Hagar, a woman mistreated, cast out, and alone in the wilderness.
And it was there—in her lowest, loneliest moment—that God found her.
She didn’t just know she was seen. She experienced it.
She named God from her story: El Roi—the God who sees.
What if your wilderness isn’t a sign of abandonment, but an invitation to encounter?
This is the crux: God doesn’t just notice you—He sees you with love, lingers with you in compassion, and calls you His own.
+ Beauty Reflection (Visio Divina)
Gaze at this image of a simple wildflowers growing in an open field. They may be small, seemingly insignificant, surrounded by open space—but each stands radiant and noticed.
As you reflect:
What part of you feels small or unnoticed right now?
What would it mean to believe that God sees even this?
Can you allow yourself to be known by the One who crafted you with care?
Let these flowers remind you:
Your beauty doesn’t depend on who notices.
Your value doesn’t decrease in silence.
You are seen—by the One who matters most.
+ Prayer Prompts (for your journal, your prayer time, or your heart)
Use these to guide your prayer or journaling, remember El Roi sees you:
Lord, thank You for seeing what others overlook…
I offer You the parts of me that feel invisible…
Help me see myself through Your eyes—beloved, not forgotten.
Let Your gaze become the comfort I return to.
