"I live here as a fish in a vessel of water,
only enough to keep me alive,
but in heaven I shall swim in the ocean.
Here I have a little air in me to keep me breathing,
but there I shall have sweet and fresh gales;
Here I have a beam of sun to lighten my darkness,
a warm ray to keep me from freezing;
yonder I shall live in light and warmth forever."
From The Valley of Vision
Today I remember many who have gone on before me, I remember heaven, and I remember that I am made for heaven. I long for it and look forward to it, when the One with eternal pleasures at his right hand helps me to do so, and when I jerk my still-under-construction heart around to make it remember that this is the place it truly longs for, and no other.
