"And notwithstanding all our feeling of woe or weal, God willeth that we should understand and hold by faith that we are more verily in heaven than in earth."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 55)
We walk around here on earth, but we are really in heaven. We were raised with Christ up to heavenly places, where we now sit with Him as He reigns over all. We may not see it, feel it, or believe it, but we are more in heaven than on earth, and we are already reigning with Christ. No matter what we are going through, no matter how we feel, no matter how we're doing, we can boldly say: "I may have trouble here, but Jesus has already overcome this world for me. I may have struggles and failures, but I am the righteousness of God in Christ and perfected forever. I may have problems, but Jesus always makes me to walk in triumph. I may have things against me, but God is for me and so nothing can really be against me. I may be a broken person in many ways, but I am whole and complete in Christ. I may feel sickness or pain, but in Him I am well and healthy. I am safe in the Father's arms. I am unconditionally loved and accepted. I am in the perfect heavenly family. I am an heir of God and royalty. I am living a heavenly life. I have already won. I am enjoying the happy ending already in Christ. I am at rest with Christ on His heavenly throne. I am basking in glory. I have fullness of joy. I am more in heaven than on earth."
"As Christ himself is seen for who he really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now one with him in his glory!"

"Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Anointed One, who grants us every spiritual blessing in these heavenly realms where we live in the Anointed—not because of anything we have done, but because of what He has done for us."
Ephesians 1:3 (VOICE)
"We don't focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal."

A Prayer: Let me see things as You see them, from heaven's perspective, not earth's.
