Oh, Hagar. I never knew you. Until this story, you were just a backdrop to the main characters. You had a history with Sarai, you had a life that led you to this moment in the desert and I never gave it a moment of consideration. This author continues to take us into the unknown layers of scripture. With each story, I go back to the Bible and look into the faces that I've not considered. Each time, God is faithful to show me something in the scriptures that ties my heart and my life into them. For today, it is this; El Roi: the God who sees me, too.
