Christians often use cliches about this: "Things happen for a reason," "God is in control," etc. But what's an example of a specific way our decision-making and everyday experiences are affected (or should be) by the realization that we are not only known, but pursued by God, and that he is present and aware in everything we do?
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:29-31)
"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." (Hebrews 4:13)

Pastor Mike!!! cool idea...
you know, I used to ask my Grandmother who lived alone if she ever got lonely. Her answer was always the same... I am never really alone!
Haunted is a tough word.... guess I felt Hunted by God... it was He who persued me, calling my name... how can I ever be the same?

Yes, I use haunted only for lack of a better word. The main thing is the idea that we are not alone. There's also that sense of inner awe and mystery we experience in a "haunting," but with God, of course, it's a positive thing(though it can be frightening in a way).
