There are many stories about the chosen one. We love those stories because they are ultimately about heroism, the chosen one battling and overcoming evil. The chosen one, destined for greatness, destined to do great things. But where there is a chosen one, there is usually an unchosen one, or unchosen ones. The one who is passed over. Overlooked. Not quite good enough, for various reasons, to become the chosen one. Somehow, they are lacking in some way to undertake the destiny of the chosen.
I'm looking forward to this upcoming Moulting No. 4&5. When I think of Hagar, I think of one of my favorite verse: "You are the God who sees."" (I have to look up the actual verse in Genesis. Only some translation say it this way.) Sometimes it's good for me to remember that God sees me, even when I'm invisible to everyone else. I see Hagar as a victim used and abused until God comes to meet with her.

I'm thankful for "a God who sees."
