How To Keep Your Focus On God and Heaven

In order to live with a heavenly perspective, in holiness, it is important to keep our focus on God and heaven.  I have five suggested ideas to do that. Here is the first idea.

Cultivate A Love For God And His Heaven

I think of cultivation as a farm word. It involves working the soil to promote the growth of whatever you are trying to grow. Love for God and His heaven grows best by working the ground of love—or by preparing the heart for love.

First of all, to do this the heart needs to be free of the weeds of the lust of the flesh and of the cares of this world (1Jn. 2:16). Then replace those thoughts with the thought that God has made us citizens of heaven and that He has paid for our citizenship with His own blood (Eph. 2:19).

Next, it would be good to do whatever you can to invest your time and money in heaven. That is, in bringing as many people into the kingdom of God as is possible; and then you will see your love for God and heaven grow. Then also, give your heart to worship and singing about heaven and your hope of heaven, and you will experience a great joy in the Lord.

  1. What a beautiful and serene mourning dove! A good reminder that our hearts can be just as serene, if we keep our focus on God, despite turbulence in our immediate environment. Peter walked upon the water, at Christ’s command — Peter only started to sink when he took his eyes off the Lord. Likewise, we can walk thru the perils of this stormy world if we keep our eyes on Christ (Colossians 3:1-3).
