The God Who Sees Me

Sunday Service: September 1, 2024 • Pastor Mimi Kim at HOPE Church in Clarksville, MD ---

Pastor Mimi recounts a moving experience of encountering God as the "God who sees me" through the story of Hagar from Genesis 16. She emphasizes that Hagar, an Egyptian slave, was seen and valued by God despite her marginalized status. This encounter with God not only provided comfort and a promise for Hagar's future but also reaffirmed the personal and attentive nature of God's love. Pastor Mimi reflects on her own journey of feeling seen and understood by God, urging the congregation to recognize and believe in God's personal care and presence in their own lives, even amidst life’s challenges and uncertainties.
