Take heed to yourself also because there are many eyes on you. As you have engaged to be the light of the world in the church, you must expect that men's eyes will be upon you. Although other men may sin without observation, you cannot. You should thankfully consider what a great mercy it is that you have so many eyes to watch over you; so many ready to tell you of your faults. For by these, you have greater help than others do. For these eyes restrain you from sin. Even though some may watch you maliciously yet you have the advantage.-Richard Baxter [excerpt from The Reformed Pastor]
