Depending on what you are doing, this will be either a huge slap or a gentle hug:
Christ forever sees us! Christ always knows us! Christ daily reads and observes our acts, words and thoughts! The recollection of this should alarm the wicked and drive them from their sins! Their wickedness is not hidden, and will one day be fearfully exposed, except they repent. It should frighten hypocrites out of their hypocrisy. They may deceive man, but they are not deceiving Christ. It should quicken and comfort all sincere believers. They should remember that a loving Master is looking at them, and should do all as in His sight. Above all, they should feel that, however mocked and slandered by the world, they are fairly and justly measured by their Savior’s eye. They can say, “You, Lord, who know all things, know that I love You.” (John 21:17)

There is a lot of truth here. Indeed, we have nothing to fear if we are right with God. But there is accountability involved, since Jesus said, "You are my friends, if you do
whatever I have commanded you." Of course, whatever He expects us to do, we can, in His strength. Phil 4:13.
