The Eyes Of God

A young boy was sitting in Sunday School while the teacher was explaining that God is everywhere and sees everything.  She stressed that even when we are bad little boys and girls that God is right there watching us all.  She even shared with the class the Scripture Genesis 16:13, “And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?”

One of the students went home and shared what he had learned that day in Sunday School.  The mother calmed the boys fears by telling him, “Sweetheart, just remember that God loves you so much that He cannot take His eyes off of you.”  This mother had a great perspective on this.

Far too many people see God as the Judge and He is; but, He is a loving Father too.  He delights in His children.  I have to think that He watches us and when we do right His heart swells with a fatherly pride.  When we do bad, I know His heart breaks.  If we would but remember that God is watching us not as Judge, waiting to crush us with His fist; but, as a loving Father waiting to love us and pick us up when we fall.

So, how are you doing?
