## About this message

In this sermon, we explore the comforting truth that God is not a distant observer but the God who sees us intimately and personally. Drawing from the life of Abram and Sarai, we learn how time and unfulfilled expectations can erode faith, leading us to take shortcuts instead of trusting God’s promises. Yet, even in our struggles and mistakes, God remains deeply aware of our pain and lovingly involved in our lives. Just as He sought out Hagar in her distress, God sees our every tear and heartache, and He moves with compassion to guide, comfort, and sustain us through every trial.
