being nearsighted

nearsightedness - 
"when light entering the eye is focused incorrectly, 
making distant objects appear blurred"

a few weeks ago, i heard an absolutely beautiful message about Heaven.

 you know Heaven, right? that really pretty, sparkly place above the clouds with angels and Jesus and exquisite mansions?

  i don't hear a lot about it in depth very often. and honestly, i don't think about it as much as i ought to.

that message reminded me of what my focus needs to be on. not on my frustrations and irritations. not on my dreams and goals. 

i mean sure, i know that my purpose here is to live for God but it's so easy to lose perspective. my ultimate goal needs to be towards the city of unfathomable beauty. streets made of pure gold, colorful gems, a crystal sea and so much more than i could ever imagine. the Bible only gives us an itsy-bitsy peephole to this wonderful place

where are your eyes focused?

this is such a good thought. Our focus and attitude is everything. Hard to keep it in persepctive sometimes but its so important to keep our minds in the right place..
