We find Hagar, an Egyptian slave to Sarai (Abram’s wife) is found in Genesis 16. She had no rights, was given away to be a surrogate for her barren mistress, and was treated harshly by the very woman who’d offered her up as a replacement. Hagar became a single mother and ended up as an outcast. But even when the people who were meant to care for her mistreated her — God saw her, heard her cries, and met her at the point of her need. Hagar’s story is one of hope — because no matter what you’ve done, or what’s been done to you, God will meet you wherever you are. He is El Roi, The God Who Sees!
