He's not lying in wait for you to mess up. He's not scratching out tally marks on your eternal sin sheet. He's not placing bets on whether or not you're going to do that again.
He's so much bigger than that.
With naught but an adoring, all consuming love He looks upon you. Like a mother gazing upon the newborn cradled in her arms; He treasures you. Even as you turn your back on Him.... again.... glancing back over your shoulder just to flash Him a disgusted & disbelieving glare, He adores you. You break His heart over and over again, yet the moment when even just one of your arms hesitantly reaches out to Him, He'll pull you into His embrace without a second thought.
You are His creation. His pride and joy. He watches you not to catch you making mistakes. He watches you to catch you. The moment your heart turns to Him, He's already there. Whether you scream out or simply lift your eyes to Him, He's ready. He's all for you. He's all with you.
God cares not about what you've done or haven't done. He knows you've messed up. (You're only human, after all.) He knows there's no way any one of us could ever make it through this life without getting dirt on our hands. Nothing you do is a surprise to Him.
You can go through your whole life on this planet being angry with Him, ignoring Him, denying Him, even actively protesting Him, and He wouldn't love you any less. He just can't help it. He yearns for you to love Him back, but it's not a prerequisite for His loving you. You can't earn it and you can't lose it. He gives His love to His creation freely by His choice; unencumbered by anyone else's will or desire for it, or against it.
You are always on His mind. You are ever in His heart. You are never too far away.
God sees you.
