'What a shame!
What a shame!
Think of all the magnificent potential God has put into these lives of ours. He has given us minds . . .
to think,
to reason,
to imagine,
to roam amid the stars,
to wander into the very borders of infinity,
to climb the golden stairs of faith even into the midst of Heaven's brightness.
He has given us hearts to feel, to suffer, to rejoice, and to love.
He has put into our beings, the possibilities of the noblest achievements and the loftiest attainments.
What a shame it is for one born to live in immortal glory, called to be a child of God — to become like Jesus — yet to be content with a poor earthly life and to live without reaching up toward God and Heaven!
"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory!" Colossians 3:1-4
