God Sees You

In keeping with last week’s blog post, I want to share a sweet story I heard yesterday. I listen to the Joy FM (93.3 in Atlanta) ninety-nine percent of the time when I am in my car. On Thursday afternoons Jayar or Benji, from The Jayar Show, interviews Joy FM artists. Yesterday Benji interviewed Tori Harper. She is an up-and-coming young artist who has a song called “Joy” that is being played on contemporary Christian radio stations. (It’s a great little song. There is something different about it. It is both uplifting and cheery, yet there is a calmness to it. Maybe it is Tori's voice or her cadence, I am not sure. But, I really like it. Check it out!)

Benji asked Tori the story behind the song. Tori, who is only 19, said that she, even as young as she is, has been through some darker times. At one point, not too long ago she went through a period where she had felt abandoned by her friends. She said that she felt like her friends had just left her out to dry. It was very upsetting to her.
She said she went home, to her room and laid on the floor and started crying. She said that she cried out to God and asked Him, “Do you see me, God?” She felt as if she were completely alone.

Tori then said she went to church. And, if I understood her correctly, she had decided that after that church service, she was going to take a break and not go back for a while. She was really down. But, then, a miraculous thing happened. Tori said that during the service, the lady sitting next to her reached over to her and told her something that forever changed her. That lady said, “God wants you to know that He sees you.”
​

Isn’t that amazing? That is how God works though! He not only let Tori know that He loves and cares about her, but He did so by using the exact words she used to question Him. I just thought that this was another great reminder that God most certainly loves and cares about us. You can listen to the entire interview on the Joy FM website.
