"Set your hearts on things above, where Christ is...not on earthly things."
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus."

Yet, it is so hard! We live in a world that seems to do everything it can to pull our hearts from a focus on our Lord and King. We need His strength to be heavenly-focused followers of Christ!
This Sunday, my prayer is that you and I would come with open hearts, ready to hear from the Lord.
May God make this passage the heartbeat of our family! For truly, the ways God can use heavenly-focused believers are beyond our comprehension!
