So, are you living for heaven? How do you?

We live for heaven when we care more for people's eternal souls than for their temporal approval; when we use our money to build God's kingdom more than our own; when we ask God to use our suffering more than to solve it; when we remember that this life is the car, not the house, the road, not the destination; when we make sure every day that we're ready to die. Are you living for heaven?

If you are, one day you'll be so glad you did. The poet said it well:

Think of stepping on shore
and finding it heaven,

Of taking hold of a hand
and finding it God's

Of breathing new air
and finding it celestial,

Of feeling invigorated
and finding it immortality;

Of passing through a tempest
to a new and unknown ground,

Of waking up well and happy
and finding it home.

Think of it. Would you?
