The late C.S. Lewis once said, "Aim at heaven and you'll get the earth thrown in; aim at the earth and you will get neither." Many of us suffer from spiritual myopia. We don't see the big picture. We think in terms of the here and now. Jesus tells us to see life through spiritual lenses. We are pilgrims on earth--this is not our home. We long for the "land of endless day." Heaven is the ultimate reward of a life lived well. Jesus wants to travel that road with us. He desires to be our friend and companion. He doesn't force himself upon us or stand in our way. He listens to us, loves us, and gives us our space. He knows that only when he has our hearts does he have us. What a Savior! What a God! - Danny Lamb |
