There is no place so desolate that you cannot find ME there. When Hagar fled from her mistress, Sarah, into the wilderness, she thought she was utterly alone and forsaken. But Hagar encountered ME in that desolate place. There she addressed ME as the Living ONE who sees me. Through that encounter with MY PRESENCE, she gained courage to return to her mistress.
No set of circumstances could ever isolate you from MY loving PRESENCE. Not only do I see you always; I see you as a redeemed saint, gloriously radiant in MY righteousness. That is why I take great delight in you and rejoice over you with singing!
Gen 16:7-14 (amp) Psalm 139:7-10; Zephaniah 3:17

His presence makes ALL of the difference--what a wonderful gift this is.
Loren...I am taking comfort in these verses, today. My health is not good and I am a bit discouraged today. My issues are nothing compared to most...it is a tough day. This passage brought comfort to me...the reminder of GOD's abundant love and knowing HE will NEVER leave me.

Loren,
That is so true, when we think God has completely abandoned us, we simply need to turn around and realize He has met us in the midst of whatever we are going through and will NEVER leave us.

This is a great truth we need to always remember because bad times will come. The illustration of Hagar is a really good example.

It always makes me feel loved when He reminds me that He delights in me. He, indeed, is always near and loving us. We are blessed to be His. So grateful that you're my sister, too!
Love you,

Wow Loren! Tthe "Living One who sees me" is His name! That gives me courage too!
Loren, Thank you so much for the encouraging words you left on my blog. I will continue to pray for your Dad, as well as your family as you go though this incredibly difficult time in your lives.
