Making the World a Little More Like Heaven

"Consider that great part of your happiness in heaven, to all eternity, will consist in this: in praising of God, for his free and glorious grace in redeeming you; and if you would spend more time about it on earth, you would find this world would be much more of a heaven to you than it is. Wherefore do nothing while you are alive, but speak and think and live God's praises."Jonathan Edwards
