God Created us for Heaven!

My delight is among the children of men.

God created us for heaven. To be sure, while we travel on the earth we have to do many other things: combat our passions, help our neighbor, and so on. But these are not the proper activity of our life; they are secondary things that pass away. Our Lord wishes that our chief occupation on earth should be to exercise ourselves in what is to be our everlasting occupation in heaven: to contemplate Him and love Him.
