O the joy of having nothing

A janitor sets his eyes on the coming week.
A clerk sets his eyes on the coming month.
A manager sets his eyes on the coming year.
A CEO sets his eyes on the coming 5-10 years.
A Christian sets his eyes on the coming ages - millennium and New Jerusalem.

Our daily walk is directed by our seeing. We are what we see. (2 Corinthians 4:18)

As Christians with the right seeing, we need to allow God to work Himself into us on a daily basis to make us the same as He is in life and nature. (1 John 3:2-3)

As Christians with the right vision, we need to be blended and knit together to build up the organic Body of Christ in order to end this age. (Ephesians 4:16)

Enjoy the following hymn (short and sweet) and pray to the Lord that He would make us ready for that day.

O the joy of having nothing and being nothing, seeing nothing
But a living Christ in glory,
And being careful for nothing but His interests down here.
Whom do I have in heaven but Thee? (Psalm 73:25)
And there is none upon the earth that I desire beside Thee.
O the joy of having nothing and being nothing, seeing nothing
But a living Christ in glory,
And being careful for nothing but His interests down here. (Revelation 21:1-2)
