As believers in Jesus Christ we are called to live somewhere that is not our home. Home is where our souls are in a constant state of complete enthrallment with God, simply put, heaven. This is paradise as it was meant to be, but this is not where we live now. Right now we are called to live in a sin sick world where we are constantly being tempted away from God. If we sit around doing nothing, the gaze of our hearts will be fixed on us. If we try to fight on our own human strength we will be overrun by our flesh the world and the devil. However, God loves to give good gifts to His children. Ask God, plead with Him to help you take your eyes off of yourself and fix them on Him, if it is His will you will taste the joy of basking in God's glory.
For the glory of God
