Do you feel as if your best years have passed you by? Hogwash! You’ll do your best work in heaven. 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 (NKJV) 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 (NCV) says, “Think only about” it. Other translations 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. You were made for more than this life.
