Heaven
by adustyframe ~ December 16th, 2008“Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next.
God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for. “
Elisabeth Elliot in “Keep a Quiet Heart”

Thank you for this quote. Recently while driving God spoke to me about this. If we didn’t have troubles here on this earth then our hearts would not long for our heavenly home. If our lives were perfect now, what would we have to look foward to? This has been a real help lately when dealing with difficult things.

If everything is smooth we have no reason to trust God….If we have no problems we have no reason to have faith…this also reminded me of something I saw a long time ago. For those who are married imagine a triangle with God at the top…husband bottom left …wife…bottom right….the closer the husband and wife move toward God the closer they grow to each other.
