Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be by Sara Hagerty,Jefferson and Alyssa Bethke

Every center longs to be obvious and understood. but so much of our lives is unwitnessed. We spend our days operating, using, parenting. We occasionally spend entire seasons feeling not noted and unappreciated. So how can we locate contentment once we consider so hidden?

In Unseen, Sara Hagerty means that this can be precisely what God meant. he's the single one that really is aware us. he's the single one that is familiar with the worth of the unseen in our lives. whilst this fact seeps into our souls, we discover that in basic terms once we disguise ourselves in God do we provide ourselves to others in precise freedom—and recognize the enjoyment of a deeper courting with the God who sees us.

Our tradition applauds what we will produce, what we will be able to exhibit, what we will add to social media. in simple terms once we provide all of ourselves to God—unedited, deserted, it seems that wasteful in its loss of productivity—can we are living out who God created us to be. As Hagerty writes, “Maybe my probably unproductive, looking-up-at-Him existence produces awe one of the angels.”

Through an eloquent exploration of either own and biblical tale, Hagerty calls us to supply each unseen minute of our lives to God. God is within the mystery areas of our lives that nobody else witnesses. yet we’ve no longer been relegated to those locations. We’ve been invited.

We should be “wasting” ourselves in a hidden nook at the present time: The cubicle at the fourth flooring. The health facility bedside of an aged mother or father. The laundry room. yet those are the locations God makes use of to satisfy us with an intensive love. those are the locations that produce the type of unhinged love in us that provides every thing at His toes, even if someone else ever broadcasts our identify, even if an individual else ever sees.

God’s invitation isn't just for a season or an afternoon. it's the query of our lives: “When nobody else applauds you, while it is not sensible, for those who see no results—will you waste your love on Me?”
