2 Chronicles 16:9

"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him..."

What an image. What an incredible reality. Humans occupy such a small space upon such a big, magnificent earth, and His big, wonderful eyes are watching it all. He gets to watch and enjoy the mountains, the oceans, the waterfalls, those far out way too perfect and beautiful places of the earth that we watch on those Discovery Channel nature documentary's where filmmakers have risked their lives to get cameras there... he gets to behold it all. All of His creation. His perfect creation. God gets to see all that stuff. And what's even more ridiculous is that with all that beauty He alone gets to wake up to, He is looking for the hearts of humans. His true passion and purpose is the state of the human heart- you and your heart.

Stay faithful and committed to Him. Keep choosing to love and adore Him. Because He watches you humbly stay on your knees in the dark of the night, or the wee hours of the morning, choosing to love him and stay with him through it all. He will notice you and He will stick up for you when life is bad, and things fall apart. Or even when they don't, He will be strong for you.

He is watching you always. It's a comforting, crazy truth, and it's also a little scary. He is watching the earth, He is watching you. From the love of a Father totally in love with you, He is watching to see how you live and breathe and... stay. Stay. Stay with Him. In a world that leaves people alone, and friends walk out on friends and loyalty is rare and precious, wake up and choose (force yourself if you must) to stay with Him today.

Then, as the Bible says, He will stand up for you and He will be strong for you. He wants your heart more than anything in the whole wide world.
