The “check you out” of God.

Once when i was younger, i was climbing up the stairs of the Eiffel tower, and I heard a voice behind me audibly say, “Check you out!” I turned, and no one was there. I laughed as I felt God’s heart in enjoying His kid climbing up the Eiffle tower. That “check you out” stayed with me in life. God’s pleasure in each of us, especially when we are doing our “thing”—check you out! I mean, check you out!!! Once that is internalized, you can, as St Augustine said, “Love God, and do whatever.” God must’ve told St Augustine—“Check you out!” That day on the Eiffel tower, when i heard God say to me: “Check you out!” changed my life.
