The Ever Watchful Eye

 

Go where we may we cannot get away from the calm, clear gaze of the divine Eye. Neither in the blue depths of the heavens, nor in the dark abysses of the grave can one hide away from God. If we could take the morning sunbeams for wings and fly away on them with all the swiftness of light to the remotest bounds of space, we could not get beyond the reach of the divine Eye. If we creep into the darkness, darkness so deep and dense that no human eye can behold us, still God sees us as clearly as if we stood in the bright noon day sunshine. Darkness hides not from him. Night shines to his eye as brightly as day.

When we know that God loves us, there is infinite comfort in this thought of his unsleeping watchfulness. It is our Father who watches. There ought also to be wondrous incitement and inspiration in this consciousness; while the Eye of divine love is looking upon us we should always do our best.
