Come near to God and He will come near to you.
James 4:8
I can't... But I know HE CAN.
I don't know how... But I know WHO.
How often we forget, in this world where it's easy to feel overlooked or forgotten, that our Creator has never once taken His eyes off us.
He is El Roi - The God Who Sees Me.
God reminded me again yesterday that He takes note of every single detail of our lives. He knows each longing, setback, victory, failure, sickness, need, tear, dream and thought. Nothing is ever too big or too insignificant for Him.
God is watching every moment and gently drawing us into His capable and loving arms. He sees us right where we are and He meets us there. I remind myself to look for Him everywhere and in everything. I continue to find that He is in it all.
From the random text a sweet friend sent to the unexpected week of sunny summer weather. Hearing my children laugh together. The worship song my heart just needed to hear. A gentle nudge to add a forgotten supplement back in which calmed some unpleasant new symptoms. And the unexpected generosity of a dear friend, walking through her own chronic illness valley, that will pay for my upcoming blood tests.
He's right there in it all.
You've just got to take time to look and listen.
I love to see the encouragement God continues to sprinkle throughout my days and the reminders that show how He truly is carrying our family. It gives me such comfort knowing He's the one who's got this.
Wherever you are right now, as you draw near to God, He promises to draw near to you. You are seen by a God who knows each and every detail of your life and He loves you through every single moment.
Look for Him today.

<3 The song below has been on my daily playlist for a couple years. It's anointed and powerful! I pray it speaks to your heart today.
Speak
By: Bethany Music
I wanna hear you, louder than the noise
I wanna feel you, closer than the air I breathe
Deep within my soul burning.
Speak to me let my heart
Be awakened by the whispering of love
Pull me close to your heart
Let the silence now be filled with your voice
Found in surrender, my heart is fully yours
Caught in the moment, captivated by the unseen
Your loving heart for me revealed
Speak to me let my heart
Be awakened by the whispering of love
Pull me close to your heart
Let the silence now be filled with your voice
The words I hear you say
You've been speaking now for all of time
All of time
You're with me.
You're for me.
You have a plan for me.
And I will never walk alone.
