As Christians, our true home is heaven (Phi 3:20), yet sometimes our desires tether us to the here and now. We enjoy God’s good gifts —marriage, children, grandchildren, journey mercies, good health, careers, friends, etc. At the same time, the Bible challenges us to focus on “things above” (Col. 3:1-2). Things above may include the unseen benefits of heaven:-God’s enduring presence (Rev. 22:3-5), unending rest (Heb. 4:9), and an everlasting inheritance (1 Peter 1:4). Recently I read, “Believers desire the heavenly inheritance; and the stronger the faith is, the more fervent [the desire].” Several Old Testament believers mentioned in Hebrews chapter 11 had strong faith in God that enabled them to embrace His promises before receiving them (v.13). One such promise was heaven. If we too put our faith in God, He will give us a desire for that “heavenly country” (v.16) and will loosen our grip on this world. I pray that may you never miss heaven after your race of christian faith in Jesus Name, Amen!
