Dear Little Girl,
I see you, standing there, wondering if you are too much… or maybe not enough. Wondering if what you have is too little… or maybe you don’t deserve more.
You’ve carried this fear for so long, haven’t you?
The fear that love is something to be earned. That security is something you must control. That you must hold everything together—the house, the family, the finances—so that no one leaves.
But what if I told you that’s a lie?
You are not unseen.
You are not forgotten.
You do not have to prove your worth.
💛 “She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: ‘You are the God who sees me.’” – Genesis 16:13
Hagar was an outsider. An Egyptian servant. A woman thrown into a foreign land, used, discarded, and left to wander the desert alone. But God found her. He saw her. He called her by name.
And dear little girl, He sees you too.
You don’t have to keep a perfect house to be loved.
You don’t have to hide your desires to be worthy.
You don’t have to be afraid of abundance—God delights in blessing His children!
You are seen. You are heard. You are loved.
A Personal Reflection
I didn’t always believe this.
Somewhere along the way, I picked up the story that love was something I had to work for—that if I was good enough, quiet enough, responsible enough, I would be worthy. I thought keeping everything in order—my home, my marriage, my finances—would make me feel safe and seen.
But no matter how hard I worked, the old fear remained. The little girl inside me still whispered, "You have to hold it all together, or you’ll be left behind."
And then, God whispered something different.
"I see you. Not because of what you do, but because of who you are."
An Invitation to Let Go
Maybe today, you just need to sit in that truth.
Let go of the lie that you have to earn love, and rest in the One who has already given it freely.
💛 What would change if you truly believed you were seen by God?
A Closing Prayer
"Father, remind me today that I don’t have to strive to be seen. You see me, fully and completely. Help me release the need to prove my worth and rest in the truth that I am already loved. Amen."
