“‘THOU GOD SEEST ME.'”

I don’t know if the words are still there.

 I saw them written on the wall above the entrance to the big hall of the ‘WEIGLE HAUS’ in Essen / Germany many many years ago, when I was a young follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The ‘WEIGLE HAUS’ was a house for  boys between 14 – 18 years of age and at that time it was run by the youth pastor WILHELM BUSCH.

Every Sunday started with a Church Service at 8.30 in the morning and the whole Sunday was full of activities for the young people.

Often you could find 500 to 700 boys in the Club House on a Sunday afternoon.

I used to live in Bottrop at that time not far from Essen and loved to go there on a Sunday. The Club House was five minutes walk from the main railway station in Essen.

“‘THOU GOD SEEST ME.'” What a message!

The Lord knows when we sit down. He knows also when we get up from our chairs. He knows also our thoughts, and he knows them from afar. He knows when we leave the house. He knows also when we are lying down on our beds. The Lord knows all our ways. Before we speak, he knows what we are going to say.

I say it again: WHAT A MESSAGE!

Maybe one of these days I have the opportunity to go again to Essen. If that happens, I am going to find out if the Club House is still standing and if the words “‘THOU GOD SEEST ME'” are still on the wall above the entrance of the hall of the ‘WEIGLE HAUS.’
