My husband accompanied me as moral support. As I described how devastated I felt, the man maintained eye contact. But that was the end; he never looked at or spoke to me again. He only conversed with my husband. Like Hagar, I felt invisible. I left his office with a clenched jaw and a hurting heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling invisible is a rare occurrence for some, but for others, it\u2019s an everyday experience. One who feels invisible has no face, no honor; she believes no one sees or cares about her. She\u2019s a non-person, a tool for someone to use and discard, existing only to serve. Perhaps Hagar felt like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hagar Rode a Visible\/Invisible Honor Status Rollercoaster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Visible to Invisible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to one Jewish tradition, Hagar was an Egyptian princess given to Abram as payment when Pharaoh took Sarai into his harem (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=ge+12%3A16&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Genesis 12:16 (opens in a new tab)\">Genesis 12:16<\/a>). If true, Hagar moved from having servants to being a servant, from honor to shame, from visible to invisible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Invisible to Visible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When Sarai was unable to bear children, she instructed Abram to sleep with her slave (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=ge+16%3A2&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Genesis 16:2 (opens in a new tab)\">Genesis 16:2<\/a>). The arrangement was acceptable in that culture and may have been part of Sarai\u2019s marriage contract. Do you suppose Sarai asked Hagar whether she was willing?&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"In the world of the ancient Near East, a slave woman could be seen as an incubator, a kind of womb-with-legs.

Since honor was considered a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nancylucenay.com\/staging\/8869\/?s=limited+good\">limited good<\/a>, Hagar\u2019s gain was Sarai\u2019s loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisible Again<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reveling in her new-found status, Hagar taunted her mistress. In response, Sarai mistreated Hagar until she fled. Hagar became invisible again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But Someone Saw Her<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The angel of the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;found [Hagar] near a spring&nbsp;in the wilderness\u2026<\/p><cite>Genesis 16:7, ESV<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In Hebrew, wilderness means a place of devastation\u2014the same word translated as formless in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Genesis 1:2 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=ge+1%3A2&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\">Genesis 1:2<\/a> and desert in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=dt+32%3A10&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Deuteronomy 32:10 (opens in a new tab)\">Deuteronomy 32:10<\/a>.

Hagar might have felt invisible to Sarai, but she wasn\u2019t to God. He saw her devastation. Then he sent her back, promising to increase her descendants, the same promise he\u2019d made to Abram. God recognized Hagar\u2019s worth and gave her life meaning and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why did God send Hagar back? Perhaps so she could teach Abram and Sarai what she\u2019d learned about God. Maybe so she and her baby would survive, or so her son would know his father. Whatever the reason, Hagar obeyed. Then she did something not done before\u2014she named God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>She gave this name to the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;who spoke to her: \u201cYou are the God who sees me\u201d<\/p><cite>Genesis 16:13<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Not just \u201cthe God who sees,\u201d but \u201cthe God who sees me.\u201d When Hagar felt invisible to everyone, God saw her and opened her eyes to his purpose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Hagar Discovered in a Place of Devastation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I found myself feeling devasted and invisible, I found comfort and strength in knowing \u201cthe God who sees me.\u201d I discovered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We are never invisible to God.

No matter how we arrive in a place of devastation, whether by our choice or someone else&#8217;s, God never intends for us to stay there. He wants to lead us through.
