"{God's} special care for women is evident in the story of Leah, whose husband, Jacob, despised her. God saw her sorrow and mended her broken heart with a gift: "When the LORD saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive" (Genesis 29:31). Or consider the story of a widow in Nain, mourning the loss of her only son. "When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, 'Don't cry'" (Luke 7:13). He misses nothing, least of all our pain. Even if others don't notice us, we can be certain He does. After watching a weeping woman anoint His feet with her tears, Jesus asked Simon the Pharisee, "Do you see this woman?" (Luke 7:44). All Simon saw was an nameless prostitute. All Jesus saw was a heart devoted to Him. As the title and first entry of this book make clear, God Sees Her. Sees Hagar, sees Leah, sees the widow, sees you, every minute of every day. He will never grow weary of watching over you. And you will never be less than beautiful in His eyes. May you see His love on every page, dear sister."--Liz Curtis Higgs, International speaker and author of thirty-seven books, including Bad Girls of the Bible "From the foreword" (2/10/2020 12:00:00 AM)
