“Every godly man has his heart in heaven; his affections are mainly set on what is to be obtained there. He focuses on heaven as a traveler who is in a distant land focuses on his own country. The traveler can content himself to be in a strange land for a while, but he prefers his own native land over all others.”
“The main reason why the godly man has his heart in heaven is because God is there. It is the place where God is gloriously present, where His love is gloriously manifested, where the godly may be with Him, see Him as He is, and love, serve, praise, and enjoy Him perfectly. The believer’s heart is in heaven because his treasure is there.[1]”
