We can choose what we think about just as we can choose what we talk about. The Bible calls that choosing “mind set”. One of the admonitions in the Bible is to choose to set our mind on the things above instead of the things of this earth. I have been exercising great self discipline lately to spend a lot of time doing that, thinking about heaven. I have found that as I think actively about heaven, what it will look like, feel like, the joy, the freedom from all evil and bad, the stunning beauty, the presence of God that I have become increasingly more positive and happy and I have myself realizing that not much really matters that much in light of going to heaven. Anything that happens in life is temporary and soon will be over and then I will be in heaven forever. I have also become more and more grateful for my salvation knowing that I did nothing to earn my position in heaven forever, it was given to me as a gift because of my faith as a result of what Jesus sacrificed on the cross. I am incomprehensibly blessed. I will spend the remaining years of my life communicating to others about this amazing gift of heaven forever received by faith.
