Have you ever felt disconnected, lonely, or even Unseen ? You are not alone! In our fast-paced society, we can often feel unnoticed. Despite today’s ever-present digital network powered by cell phones and social media, the connection we long for can seem impossible to grasp. Through very filtered lenses, everyone else’s lives look perfect, while ours may seem lonely and empty, leaving us feeling overlooked and insignificant. But you are God’s treasured possession who He constantly sees and pursues! Our loving heavenly Father is the Good Shepherd. He will leave the 99 to search for the one sheep who has gone astray. And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep” (Luke 15:5-6 NIV). God designed us to need love, acceptance, and community, but how do we embrace those essential elements of life? The authors of Unseen: You Are Not Alone provide their personal answers to this question. They share their struggles of feeling isolated and unnoticed and detail how our awesome God helped them overcome every obstacle to find what truly matters: Him. These stories and devotional teachings shed light on the truth of your significance and value, helping you walk through the darkness into the light. God has more for you than you could ask or imagine. The most holy and mighty God of the universe sees you. You are never alone!
