God sees us is a truth from the Bible. The story of Hagar from Genesis 16 illustrates this truth in a really beautiful way. Hagar is comforted knowing that she is seen by God, who cares for her.
To tell the story use a doll to represent Hagar.
God sees us – Hagar story idea
Say hello to Hagar!
Hagar was very sad. (Can you look sad?) She ran away from her home. (Make the sound of running by tapping hands on knees – encourage everyone to do this action with you). She sat down and looked around. There was no one there. No one. It was very quiet. (Everyone say ‘shush’).
But God knew where Hagar was. He spoke to her, ‘It will be alright Hagar. Go back home.’
Hagar listened. She knew that God could see where she was. She knew that God is everywhere. Hagar said, ‘You are the God who sees me. You are the God who looks after me.’
God sees you and me too. He cares for us and is able to look after us.
God sees us – Hagar craft idea
Make a happy and sad paper plate face. On one side make a sad face and on the other side a happy face.
Glue plates back to back with a large lollipop stick between them so they can be held and turned. Hagar was sad but at the end of our story she is happy. Here’s some ideas from Pinterest.
