As a single mother, it’s easy to think because you’re doing everything alone, that you are alone. You cook, clean, and pay bills alone. You make decisions alone. You provide for your family alone. The absence of a physical person to support and encourage you can easily make you feel unsupported and even unseen. God sees you. But what does that mean? Why is it so important to know that God sees you? Great question. Being fully confident that God sees you confirms that you are never by yourself. God is and will always be there to strengthen and guide you. In Dear Single Mom, God Sees You, author Dr. Kisha Cheree Tinson encourages single mothers with her message that God sees and will help you through your most difficult challenges. Through personal letters of her life as a single parent, guided self-work, scripture study, and prayer, Tinson invites you to take comfort in knowing the omniscient God who created the heavens and the earth sees you. You are not forgotten by God or invisible to Him. In fact, you are always in His sight. May this encouraging devotional provide single mothers with uplifting motivation and heartfelt connection, assuring that God sees and cares.
