So often, in years gone by, children were told, "You beter behave, God is watching you". This gave rise to the images of the 'God of the big stick". That God was watching to catch us out in some mistake or failing, and yet, His Word says in Romans chapter 8 verse 1 that there is "Therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". God is watching us because He loves us so very much, like a proud parent, watching their baby turn into a toddler !!

GOD’S EYES
The eyes of God roam to and fro,
Seeking who loves the Word.
And who is still enthralled by Him
As the day that first they heard.
For first love is a beauteous thing,
There’s nothing to compare;
And the first love we find, when we find the Lord;
