[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (8/28/18)[:]

[:en]When Hagar ran away, she met an angel in the desert which said:  “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count”.  And  the angel named Hagar’s son Ishmael, which means “God hears” (Gen. 16:10-11),  In response, Hagar gave God the name “Your are the God who sees me” (Gen. 16:13)

Truly, our God is the God who sees us with eyes of compassion.[:]
