desiring Christ daily and hoping for heaven

Today I will be blogging about desiring Christ daily through trials and suffering.  I also will discuss hoping for our future home in heaven or eternity with our Savior King Jesus.  When we face trials or suffering in our life God weans us through this time and reminds us that he is the only thing in this life that matters.  He reminds us that everything we do must be found in him and him alone.  We must desire him in all that we do.  He wants us to die to our self and give up control of everything to him.  In James 1:12 he says that if we persevere through times of trial then we will receive the crown of glory in heaven.  Romans 8:18 says that "I consider our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."  Our bodies will be made new when we go to  eternity meet our Savior Jesus Christ.  That is the hope we strive for when we go through these trials of life.  This is discussed in the last chapter of the book "How can a good God let bad things happen?"  God has to be that treasure that we seek every minute of the hour of the day in our lives.  The treasure from the parable of the field or sower that we do everything we can to find it.  He is the only thing or person in our life that can help us make it through whatever we are going through in our life.  He is in control.  He loves us abundantly and pursues us every day.  He desires to be with us.  He is the treasure of heaven we seek, when all else fails in life because if we seek him the treasure of heaven then we will be with him forever in his amazing treasure that he will bless all those that believe in him with eternity in Jesus Christ.  It is this hope of heaven and of desiring Christ through the trials of my life that I need to have.  It is this mindset I need to bring to whatever situation in my life because this earthly won't or doesn't compare to the crown we will receive in heaven.  We will be able to see our creator face-to-face and walk by sight not faith which in my opinion will be wierd.  Anyways, this book has really hold onto Jesus during this time in my life and cling to him in all that I do.
