People say they are not looking for heaven on earth. People say that they know everything is flawed on earth.

The problem is that we often live differently than we say, our actions often betray what we say with our words. Our heads say one thing, but our hearts say something else, and we often follow our hearts, even when we deny it with our heads.

What is an indication that we are falling into this trap? One indication is if you are committing sins forbidden in scripture. Another is if we are grumbling and unhappy and complaining.

The truth is that if we are critical and negative about life, then we are looking for heaven on earth. The longings we have for perfection are not wrong, though what we do with those desires may be wrong. They may be wrong because we may end up living by sight instead of by faith. Live for Heaven now.
