You are still at the wheel of your car, although you should be at your destination. You are just making an important call with your mobile phone. At that moment you notice a police car in your rear view mirror. Your reflexes make you take your foot from the accelerator, put your phone away and fix your seat belt . You remember your tyres that you should have replaced long ago. Feverishly you think out excuses to explain your behavior, should the police stop you.
Now just imagine that GOD were so close on your heels that you could see HIM. Your thoughts would come in a rush. What about your last income tax return? Or your marital faithfulness? Your reputation in the neighborhood? Your conduct in business? Your honesty?
Well, GOD is really close behind you; only you can't see HIM. But HE can see you very well. Hold on to the impression that HE has caused to affect your conscience! Regard it as a chance that GOD is giving you to stop living as you are at present! See that you get things in order with HIM! Go through your life, detail by detail! Confess all your faults to HIM, and stop making them in the future! In that way your life will change, for GOD will forgive you everything in CHRIST and grant you a quality of life you have never imagined. You then need fear HIM no longer, but will be able to lead your life joyfully beneath HIS watching eye..
