The Longing

In our Wednesday night discussion, some spoke of their longing to talk and fellowship with believers. They spoke of their longing for heaven:

“An unholy man cannot enter heaven, and were be in heaven, it would be no enjoyment to him, because it is not suited to him. The nature of the resident must be suited to the place of residence... There is a fellowship among the devils in hell and with those who are of a diabolic nature, and we know the holy inhabitants of heaven are brethren with holy souls” -Adam Clark

2 Chron 12:14 “And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.”

Ps 57:7  “My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.”

That is, his heart was settled, and it longed for heaven. No one goes to heaven  if his heart is not already there!

Blessings
