I See You

1/19/2017

Sawubona. A greeting we learned within days of arriving in South Africa five years ago. But we never knew the Zulu word meant something more than, "hello".
It means, I see you.
So beautiful. And what's more beautiful is that God Himself says that to you and to me. Once God sent an angel with a word of encouragement to a disenfranchised slave who'd been unfairly sent away. After the encounter a stunned Hagar said, "I have seen the One who sees me."

​A few months ago, Chandra was in the dark maze of government offices in downtown Pretoria, helping a newly widowed teacher with paperwork. While there, they saw a European lady sitting alone. Her South African husband of many years had recently died, and here she was alone in strange dark offices having to submit paperwork.
​Except she wasn't alone, because Chandra saw her. She and the teacher, grieving her own loss, were able to embrace this lady and pray with her. It was God saying, "I see you."
The thrill of our lives is being His eyes and His hands in this beautiful nation. We are so grateful. ​We pray God's richest blessings for you as you are His eyes and hands everywhere you go in 2017!
