The tragedy is that we do not run away from sensual pleasures, nor are we afraid of offending the Lord, even though we are told daily of HIS supreme presence within us.
We would not dare commit an evil act in the presence of a small child, yet what wicked sins do we not perpetrate in HIS omnipresence ?
Evidently, we do not fear God as much as we do even a child.

For our whole life we go on hoarding money and wasting our time. Then comes death, and when the Lord of Death demands an account of our actions, there is not an ounce of merit to earn anything.
When we were born, our hands were held tightly in a fist. The Lord gave us the precious wealth of human breaths. When it is our time to go, we find that wealth has been dissipated.
And we return to the Lord empty handed. We stumble all the way when we forget to remember the Creator. If we want to extricate ourselves from the snares of Illusion, then we must engage in the worship of the Lord.
