When I think of God’s name El Roi (meaning the God Who Sees Me), I feel mixed emotions. Some days I feel cleaner at heart than others. When that’s the case, I don’t mind God peeking in on me. Other days I feel like hiding, and so knowing He sees me can be quite unnerving. I can’t hide from God. And then there are the days when I feel invisible or wounded. I find comfort in knowing God sees me. Yes, me, one among billions. Wow! That makes me smile.
God, I so love Your names. I love knowing You are El Roi, the God who sees me. No matter where I am, I am never hidden from You. You see me. Thank You for never leaving or forsaking me. Thank You for embracing me when I try to run and hide. You see more than I can see. And I believe You see actually beauty in me: Your son, Jesus. Amen.
(for reading on El Roi, please read Genesis 16:13-14. Or better yet, read the whole chapter.)
