"The point is not that God will refuse you admission to His eternal world if you have not certain qualities of character: the point is that if people have not got at least the beginnings of those qualities inside them, then no possible external conditions could make a 'Heaven' for them.” C. S. Lewis,

“Set your affections on things above where Christ is…” Col.3

Heaven is as much a state of mind as it is the very real residence of all who love God. Heaven is an attitude at perfect peace and completely reconciled with everything that God wills. Without this attitude, no circumstance outside of us can create a Heaven for us; but with it, everywhere can bring us its joy.  Conversations Within” ts 1/20/2015
