I love digital spaces. My research and work have focused on digital learning, so tools like Zoom have always excited me. They’ve changed how we connect—people from across the world can join meetings or even church services. It feels like a miracle of connection. But over time, something has changed. Cameras are off. People attend, but they’re invisible. We’ve lost touch, taste, and smell in digital meetings—but now we’re even giving up sight. Presenters speak to blank screens. Friends share ideas into silence. In a world more connected than ever, we’re becoming more disconnected. It’s a strange loss—like we’re together, but not really seen. And it made me wonder—have we done the same with God? Are we spiritually present but unseen? Have we turned off our hearts, our connection, our sight? Hagar, alone and desperate in the wilderness, encountered God and said, “You are the God who sees me…I have now seen the One who sees me” (Genesis 16:13). What a powerful moment—to be seen, and to truly see God. Let’s not drift into invisible lives. Let’s not mute our souls or switch off our spiritual cameras. God sees you. But can you still say, like Hagar, “I have seen the One who sees me”? Open Bible – https://bit.ly/Gen15v13-14 (Craig B)
