Commitment of Love
I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.—Hosea 2:19 (NIV)
“She answered God by name, praying to the God who spoke to her, ‘You’re the God who sees me! Yes! He saw me; and then I saw him!’ That’s how that desert spring got named ‘God-Alive-Sees-Me Spring.’ That spring is still there, between Kadesh and Bered. Hagar gave Abram a son. Abram named him Ishmael.”—Genesis 16:13–16 (MSG)
There are seasons in life when it may seem that no one understands or cares. God will show up in your time of need just as He did for Hagar. When you feel unseen, He reminds you that you are in His sights. During these times Jesus gives us what we need most: Himself.
Heavenly Father, I know You see me!
I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.—Hosea 2:19 (NIV)
The brothers and sisters there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged.—Acts 28:15 (NIV)
