There was once a little girl who had a Christian mother, who, among other things, taught her the text, “Thou God seest me.”
This made the little girl very sad. The thought of all her naughty ways, her bad tempers, cross words; and then to think that God saw it all. This made her very sorrowful. The holy God saw all. She would sigh and say,
“God sees me! God sees me!” and she wept and was in sorrow.
But through mercy she was led to see that God was a forgiving God, through the Lord Jesus Christ. This brought such relief, that one day she ran into her mother’s room, saying,
“God sees me! God sees me!”
God knew it was all true, and now she was filled with joy. There was nothing to hide. She had been a had child, but God forgives through Jesus Christ, and God could see she was believing in Jesus, and what was a sorrow before was now a joy.
Little reader, it is true that God sees you. Does this cause. sorrow or joy? It should make you sorry, if you love not the Lord Jesus Christ, but if you love Him, and are forgiven by Him, then it will be joy to you also, that God sees you.
