Focused on My Citizenship in Heaven with Jesus, Not of This World!

Looking at his disciples, he said:

“Blessed are you who are poor,

    for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are you who hunger now,

    for you will be satisfied.

Blessed are you who weep now,

    for you will laugh.

Blessed are you when people hate you,

    when they exclude you and insult you

    and reject your name as evil,

        because of the Son of Man.

“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.

- Luke 6:20-23

We are Citizens of Heaven, not of this world! We have to stop being sad, hurt, disappointed, or down when it comes to dealing with things of this world. Material or carnal, all, nothing is as important as to getting into Heaven and spending eternity with Jesus in Heaven! Nothing! We cannot let things of this world get us down. Not even all the evil, corrupt, crooked elected and so called leaders who do more harm than good. We need to remain joyful in the Lord. Remember this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! We will receive our most important blessings in Heaven, not here. When others hurt you or bring you down, know that our reward is in Heaven. Not here. The Mornings with God App had a nice write up, prayer, and Bible verse today, they said, "Christ came into the world to set up the kingdom of heaven here. The laws of this kingdom are the laws of heaven. The Beatitudes contain the substance of these laws. We should study these ideals of character, and then seek to get them into our own lives. To be poor in spirit is to be lowly, to forget self and think of others. Posing as humble will not do – humility must be real. Hunger of spirit is dissatisfaction with present attainment and longing for something better. Sorrow brings comfort, and comfort is one of God’s best gifts. It is worthwhile to have sorrow that we may receive the comfort. The hate of men does not seem desirable, and it is only when it is for the sake of Christ that it brings blessing. Loving enemies is not an easy lesson to learn, but it is the Christ–like way. If we are to be like our Master we must learn to love as He loves. The important thing in all this teaching is to get the lessons down out of heaven into our common daily life."

Citizens of Heaven! Stay focused on that and nothing of this world! I love you Jesus! Focusing on You and Your example for my life while here on this Earth School!
