Conversations With Cinthia

Hagar called God "the God Who sees me."  She encountered Him in the desert while fleeing a terrible situation, and the experience of being seen, understood, heard, validated, and loved was enough to enable her to go back and face the situation.  We need to be seen -- not just viewed, but seen for who we are and fully loved and accepted at the same time.  We need this from God and from each other.  Today Cinthia discusses concepts from attachment research and looks at what Hagar's encounter with God meant to her.  She also looks at what it meant to Jesus to have the Father turn away from Him during the crucifixion and how, once this was finished, the power of sin to separate us from God was destroyed.  If you've ever felt less than affectionately seen, less than desperately loved, less than fully known and accepted at the same time, join Cinthia to explore what it means to be seen by God, as well as to see the world (including our loved ones, enemies, and strangers) through His eyes.
