Hagar in the desert

In the desert, Hagar sees that Yishmael is dying. She doesn’t want to watch him die, so she puts him under a bush and cries. A Malach comes to her and says that even though Yishmael isn’t the Zerah, he is still going to father a nation. He shows Hagar a small pond and tells her to go back to Avraham’s house. Here we see that even though Yishmael is going to father a nation that isn’t a completely moral and ethical people, it hasn’t happened yet, so he is innocent. Hashem doesn’t jusdge people on what they will do, but what they have already done. Hagar is visited by a Malach, so we see that she has some merit. She is sent from her home and forced to travel through the desert with nothing, she grows stronger from this experience. She also knows a bit more about her future and knows that her son is going to live.
