Genesis 16:10: "The Angel added, "I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count"
Note that Hagar forgot the Lord had promised her to multiply her offspring thru Ishmael, as he was Abraham's offspring as well. God is a faithful God who fulfills His promises. He is God "El Roi". The one who SAW Hagar in her distress, and had mercy on her. In the same way, when we believe that no one else cares for us, God is seeing us. And the best pat is that He doesn't only see our immediate situation, but sees the complete picture from an eternal perpective. We can rest at peace in His hand knowing that He will never leave us stranded. He will never leave us orphans. Let's treasure His promises, specially in times of struggle and loneliness.
