Watched by God
From the 'Speaking of Life' Treasury -- Ourselves and Others
Moderator, Peter Stafford Sumner

A little girl arrived home from Sunday-school and found her mother weeding the garden. Although not a church-goer herself, the mother was naturally interested in her small daughter's activities. So she asked what the lesson had been about that morning.

"Today, we learned how God watches us all the time," she said brightly. "He sees everything we do."

At this, a frown crossed the mother's face. "But, darling," she queried, "doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable to think that God is, well spying on you like that?"

"Oh, no, Mummy, you don't understand," said the little girl smiling. "It's just that God loves me so much He can't take his eyes off me."
