You May Quote Me – On God’s Love

It is only right, with
all the powers of our heart and mind, to praise You, Father, and Your only begotten
Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: dear Father, by Your wondrous condescension of
loving-kindness toward us, Your servants, You gave up Your Son. Dear Jesus, You paid the
debt of Adam for us to the eternal Father by Your blood poured forth in
loving-kindness.  You cleared away the darkness of sin by Your magnificent and radiant
resurrection.  You broke the bonds of death and rose from the grave as a
conqueror.  You reconciled heaven and earth.  Our life had no hope of eternal
happiness before You redeemed us.  Your resurrection has washed away our sins,
restored our innocence, and brought us joy.  How inestimable is the
tenderness of Your love! – Gregory The Great

UpWords (C) 2016 Max Lucado – Seek Heaven

Do you feel
as if your best years have passed you by? Do you regret wasting seasons of life
on foolish pursuits? So do I. But we can stop our laments. We have an
eternity to make up for lost time.

Colossians 3:1 is a great reminder to “seek those things which are
above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.” Seek heaven the way a
sailor seeks the coast or a pilot seeks the landing strip.  Colossians 3:2
says, “think only about it.” Other translation say Keep your mind on it. Pursue the things over which
Christ presides. In other words, obsess yourself with
heaven! Open your eyes, Christ invites. Lift up your gaze. Don’t
limit your story to the days between your birth and death. You were made
for more than this life!
