I've been seen
This book speaks such powerful truths. In my opinion, when someone writes a book about God seeing people in the middle of their brokenness, the author to be able to truly see people. It's no small task, but Tammy does just that. This book is far more than a cushy feel good book. Just the beginning blew me away when she writes about different kinds or groups of people who feel forgotten or invisible. I found myself in more than a few categories. Realizing that God sees me is wonderful, but the book doesn't stop there. She goes on to explain powerful but simple ways for us to see God in our lives. She offers no magic formula, and that's a good thing, but she does offer insight into why at times we can't seem to see God. Through her very honest stories of her own life Tammy took me on a journey that opened my eyes to finding God in places I didn't always look and made me also revisit places I knew I saw Him, but didn't fully realize His loving hand at work. Then she brings the book full circle. As we find freedom from experiencing God's loving care she invite us to share that with others. To me there is nothing more powerful than really knowing in my heart that God sees me just as I am and loves me and is working on my behalf to give me His very best care. This book truly changed my perspective.

He Sees You!!
"I saw you in your need. And I still see you. I am restoring all you though was lost, all you grieved and left behind. For with Me, all things are new". We all need to know that we are seen and heard. In the journey through this amazing book, Tammy shares those simple little words of "I See You". The walls break down and the tears start to flow. It's in this moment we realize that we are not alone and the God, our Father, Our comforter is real, he is right in front of us wiping away our tears. This book is FULL of truths of Jesus seeing us right were we are, reminding us to see Jesus in others and most importantly to be Jesus to those around us. This is a fantastic book and one I plan to give to several people that I know that need to hear those words "I See You".

Excellent book with many Bible truths to ponder.
God sees and He knows. That can bring comfort to us or fear, but when we know He also loves and cares for us we can go on to see others as God sees them and reach out to them.

Refreshing reminder and beautifully written
I haven't finished reading the book yet so I didn't want to comment. However, after seeing a video of an interview with the author I had to say it made me think of a song. The song that came to mind is Walt Harrah's Think About His Love. The simple words:
Think about his love
Think about his goodness
Think about his grace that's brought us through
For as high as the heavens above
So great is the measure of our Father's love
Great is the measure of our Father's love
How could I forget his love?
How could I forget his mercy?
He satisfies. He satisfies. He satisfies my desire.
Even when I've strayed away
His love has sought me out and found me
Those times I've been
Away from him
His loving arms have held me fast
I think for me, reading the book has been like reading a personal love letter from the Lord of how great is His love for me. I know I believe and I know He lives in my heart but my soul did need to hear about His love once again. The message of the book is just so refreshing and as usual life giving to my soul. I fall at my Lord's feet once again and worship Him for He is good and His love endures forever!
