If we remember that God is looking at us all the time we would never, or scarcely ever do what is displeasing in his eyes.
If, for reverence to his Sovereign Lord can conquer our nature, how much more will the thought of the divine presence make a faithful soul overcome every temptation, and suffer every pain rather than insult the Lord before his face.
Every evil happens to us, because we do not reflect that God is present with us, but imagine that he is at a distance.
If we keep ourselves always in the presence of God, that thought that, he sees all our thoughts, that he hears all our words, and observes all of our actions, will preserve us from thinking any evil, from speaking any evil, and doing any evil.
If I Reflect that God is looking at all my actions, I would do all things well, with pure intentions, without seeking to please anyone but God, and without any regard to human respect.
God has created you for no other end that you might love him.
The life of Bliss consists in seeing and loving God. Here on earth, it is with the eyes of faith, and always behold him as present with him.
