Jehovah El Roi “The God who sees.”

He came and is coming again and again!

“Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You who dwell in the heavens.” (Psalm 123:1)

And they were telling your situation is hopeless. When your walls turned into ruins and the foundation felt shaking. When the roof cracked and thousands of heavy waters fell on it tearing down and swiping away the last tile. With your hands stretched out in prayer, you were trying to stop those waters.

Standing firm on your feet, you saw that happening to your house. The waters flushed it all away, and they passed you by, scattering and piling all the memories into an enormous ball. Your feet remained dry. You kept standing on your solid ground. None of those waters touched you but the rains of regret, hopelessness, loss and relief rolling down your face. And now again you are here, standing on your rock, alone and broken amidst your ruins.

You were thinking you lost it all, but all you lost were the illusions you were being fed with by the deceptive human nature. That place you had never belonged to. That dry garden you wanted to flourish. You had been generously scattering your pearls, the seeds that were trampled upon without regret by those you had been praying for. Watering that garden with your tears in prayer, often unseen and disregarded.

But the One above saw everything… “You have taken account of my miseries; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book?” (Psalm 56:8)

This is a the story of bitter betrayal, abandonment and divorce. And the only question you have is “why?”

“Because my love for you is jealous. Because you are bought with a price. Because you are My daughter. Because you are precious to Me. Because I saw it all and My heart grieved. Because I know what you deserve even if you don’t. Because My plans for you are greater, and only I know them. Because I want to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you My expected end”.

This message will find you, and it has already done if you hear it now: “No, you are not hopeless and alone, because you have been standing on the Rock.”

And you will hear that voice. You will open your wings again and soar in your freedom renewed and whole. You are free because you are called to freedom in Christ! Your hope was born with Jesus. You found your hope the moment you found Him. The One, who will never leave you, nor forsake you. Him, who will never hurt you, nor denounce you. Who loves you unconditionally. No matter what.

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:5-6)

If your hope is Jesus, you have hope even beyond your last day on this earth: the only true Hope that will never leave you ashamed.

Run to your fortress all wounded, ashamed and desolate. Hide in it and find your Lord there; cleave to your God. Submit to Him with all your heart, your mind, and your soul. He WILL exalt you in the due time for this is His will expressed in His promise. Rest in your Lord and He will give you that peace that surpasses all understanding. The world will never figure out how. How you could make it through so strong and lifted up. And your answer to them will be: “It’s not because I am, but because He IS!”

He will shine His glory upon you and make you radiant again; and they will see the Lord and acknowledge His mighty presence. God never forsakes His own.

“For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it;For how should My name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another.” (Isaiah 48:11)

Take courage. The new day is shining through. Your Light is here and now, for where He is there is darkness no more! Jesus came to save and is coming again and again!
