“El Roi” The God Who Sees Me

El Roi — The God Who Sees Me
Written by Samayah Pitt | October 19

Have you ever felt misunderstood, abandoned, or completely alone? Like no one truly sees you or even tries to? In Genesis 16, we meet Hagar, a woman rejected and left to face the wilderness by herself. But even in her loneliness, she was never unseen. God found her, called her by name, and reminded her that He is El Roi — the God who sees.

When Hagar felt invisible, God reached down to comfort her, correct her, and promise her a future. Her story reminds us that no matter how hidden or hopeless we feel, the same God who saw Hagar in the desert still sees us today. He sees our pain, our efforts, and our hearts , and He promises to redeem them all.

“You are the God who sees me.” — Genesis 16:13
