Hagar is Comforted by a God Who "Sees" and "Hears"
After Hagar was forced to leave Abram and Sarai’s house because of the ongoing mistreatment and oppression from Sarai, in the second half of Genesis 16, “The angel of the Lord” found Hagar near a spring in the desert and encouraged her. 
This is the first time in the Bible that, “The angel of the Lord” appears. Although there is some puzzlement between the connection between “angel of the Lord” and God, it is interesting to note that “angel of the Lord” only appears in the Old Testament. It is also intriguing that the “angel of the Lord” in this passage (and in others) talks with authority as if it is God himself, “I will so increase your descendants.” Furthering this connection, in verse 13, Hagar says, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”
In her collision with the Lord in the desert, Hagar learns that the Lord both “hears” and “sees” her sorrow. 
The Lord found her wandering in the desert (a place of desolation throughout the Bible), running from oppression. He sought her out, saw her, spoke to her, and encouraged her. 
God is a god who “sees” and “hears” the cries of the oppressed. This is one of many, many times, we will see God’s heart for the broken, victimized, and oppressed.

If you wanna be close to God, you need to start reading the bible every day. Start small, set a daily alarm on your phone, download the bible app, and read some plans in there, as well as reading the bible itself on there. Start in the new testament and just go. Some days will be cool, some days you won't feel anything, but it matters. It will change you, your character, your life, your thoughts, everything. Next thing you know you are buying a journaling bible and drawing, tabbing, highlighting, lettering, journaling. Every morning, spend time with God, pray, involve Him, talk to Him.

bringing people to Christianity
God placed this on my heart so I want to share:
When I was younger I first became a Christian because I didn't want to go to hell. My faith was purely based on not wanting to go to hell so I would try hard not to sin that way I would go to heaven. However, that is such a watered-down version of why we should have faith. As I grew older I felt God was calling me to reexamine my faith and become close to Him. Over the past 2ish years I have grown so much because instead of being Christian simply to not go to hell my faith was built on my relationship with God. He is the friend, parent, and just love that I have always searched for and wanted. He is the true embodiment of love. If you are wondering why you should be a Christian it is because at your lowest moments, where you feel most broken, underserving, lost, etc. the answer is Christ. HE LOVES YOU, not in a cheesy way but in a way where he died for you to save you from yourself. He wants to show you His love, and he provides peace. It is in a relationship with Him that even though I worry, and feel burdened, I can still have peace because of his presence in my life.
I just pray that anyone reading this accepts Jesus Lord and seeks a relationship with Him. I pray they do not get caught up in the "aesthetics" and try to be "that Christian girl" or the perfect person so that they don't go to hell, but instead I pray they seek you so that they can feel your love so that they can feel your breath of life into their own lungs. I pray that all who read this find you, so that they can encounter the peace, and love I have in following and getting closer to you. Jesus is what you have been seeking. Amen.

A healthy habit I wanna do more is just telling God: I love you. I praise you. You gave me life, you chose me to walk on this earth, to experience life, the gift of existing as myself, and that is crazy, that is gigantic, of all the billions and billions of possible humans to bring to life you made me. The number of people that could be created is infinite, yet here I am. Thank you. My existance is proof enough of yours.
