We will need a little more information first... most of this you
have probably already tried.

1)  Is the text layer the top layer in your XCF file?

2)  Is visibility of your text layer on (eyeball icon showing in
layers dialog dock)?

3)  Was your text visible at all during any part of the process of
adding it to the image?

4)  Is it possible that your text is too small to be visible?  In a
large high resolution image, the default text size is rather tiny;
to change it, one must select the text in the box on the image
canvas, before changing the font size.

Any other details or etc. you can provide would be helpful in
figuring this out.
