Heaven
Everywhere
"Blessed are the pure in heart. for they shall see
God." Matt. 5:8. It matters not, to those who have
the open eye, where they are; they see heaven anywhere.
They do not live in that little world where they see the
old cabin, the open cracks, the bare floors, the empty
flour bin, the meatless larder, the scanty clothing, and
the hard times, but they live out in a world where they
see riches untold. They always have heaped about them a
great store of beautiful and wonderful things. They cannot
see their poverty because they are ever looking at their
riches. They do not see the little old cabin because they
are looking at their mansion. They do not see the faded
garments because they are looking at the fine linen, so
clean and white. They do not see the empty flour bin and
meatless larder because their eyes are ever on the
promises of God. The apostle John in Patmos was looking
into heaven and not at the barren rocks. Paul was not
confined to the dungeon and the stocks; he was up in the
presence of God singing Him praise. It is what we see with
that inner vision that gives to life its blessed fullness
and sweet contentment. O ye saints, do not live around
among the seen things. Go out and build a mansion for your
soul in the heavenly life.
