Heaven is not here, it's there. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for.

I've always hated (I know, strong word) the usage of the word "settle" in cases like this. Settle should not be in the vocabulary of Christians because we are children of the Most High God, and are brothers and sisters of King Jesus. Settle just does not seem to fit because of what we KNOW about what is in store for us in eternity. Settle for this life, I think not!
