Live with Eternity and Heaven in View

A new year reminds us that we are traveling to our long home, and that “earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal” (Thomas Moore). Calvin reminds us, therefore, that a believer who does not “hanker” after being with Christ forever has made little progress in his spiritual journey on earth. May God help us to live in 2013 with eternity ever in view, fully persuaded with Thomas Watson that “there can be no grief in heaven any more than there can be joy in hell.”
