The God of Exodus 3 is a God who sees, who hears, and who responds. This same God sees, hears, and responds to the pain in our lives. Our most painful secrets and most secret scars are not a secret to God. The most painful surprise of our lives is not a surprise to God. God saw it coming, all along. And God comes, as Carlo Carretto says, like the sun in the morning—when it is time. He comes to us and he tells us that he wants to take us to a better place.
