Words of Wisdom from J C Ryle. "Live as in the sight of God"

Live as in the sight of God. This is what Abraham did,—he walked before Him.
This is what Enoch did,—he walked with Him.
This is what heaven itself will be,—the eternal presence of God.
Do nothing you would not like God to see.
Say nothing you would not like God to hear.
Write nothing you would not like God to read.
Go to no place where you would not like God to find you.
Read no book of which you would not like God to say, "Show it Me."
Never spend your time in such a way that you would not like to have God say, "What art thou doing?"
(found in J C Ryle's "Thoughts for Young Men")

A friend sent me this so I thought I'd pass it on.
I hope you're challenged, blessed and encouraged by it, as I was.
