If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have dietd and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. — Colossians 3:1-4
O God, quicken to life every power within me, that I may hold on eternal things. Open my eyes that I may see. Give me acute spiritual perception. Make heaven more real to me than any earthly thing has ever been. Amen. A.W. Tozer.
