Genesis 16

In a world that only sees what you do, El Roi sees who you are.

One of the deepest human pains is not physical, but relational: the pain of being invisible.

It is the feeling of being overlooked, of being the last one picked for the project, of your contribution going unnoticed in a sea of faces.

The core idea is that in a world that measures our value by performance, popularity, and productivity, being unseen often feels like being worthless.

But there is a name for God that speaks directly into this pain: El Roi, The God Who Sees.

Through the story of Hagar in the book of Genesis—a servant who was used, abused, and discarded—we discover what it means to be truly seen by the God of the universe, especially in our moments of deepest despair.

Do you ever feel that your life is a performance? That you are valued only for what you can do?

What would it change for you to know that the God of all creation sees not just your actions, but your heart?

Do you dare to believe that in a world that only sees what you do, El Roi sees who you are?
