If there’s anything God shows us about Himself in His word it’s that He is a personal God. Yes, He loves the whole world, but He also sees and loves the individual.
He saw Hagar and her son a distance away, alone in the desert, waiting to die, and had compassion on them.
He saw Hannah, alone in the temple, weeping and praying for a son, and granted her request.
He saw Mary, a humble worshipper of God, and made her the mother of the Messiah.
He saw the Samaritan woman, sitting alone by the well, and gave her hope through the greatest message of all time.
He saw the man with leprosy, and having compassion on him, healed him, restoring his life.
He saw the woman who had bled for twelve years when, in faith, she touched His cloak and was healed.
He saw John, alone on the island of Patmos, and gave him a vision of the Son and of His coming kingdom to give the world.
He sees you right now, too, and whatever you’re going through He has compassion for you.
Father, give me your eyes.
