"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." – Colossians 3:2
step 1: read the devotional
step 2: listen to the worship playlist while you paint your nails
step 3: let your nails be a reminder
thinking about heaven has a way of changing how we see things. it shifts our focus, our priorities, and even our hearts.
my Aunt Nancy is someone who really lived this out. she had this innate way of always keeping her eyes on what truly mattered. whether it was as big as making a life changing decision or as small as picking a nail polish color, she made it clear her heart was set on heaven.
it’s so easy to get caught up, though, isn’t it? we’ll scroll for hours before calling a friend who might need us. or run to shop away stress when maybe we could spend that time with Jesus, journal, or help a local ministry. but when we think about heaven, it changes everything.
its not just about what we do. it’s a heart posture and attitude. it’s about stewarding the way we think. it’s letting our actions and words worship God! praising Him for sending His son that we not only would be free from death but we could be reconciled to the Father! and we have the ultimate joy to share the love and peace we find in Jesus. amazing.
what if today, we let heaven shape the way we live?
