If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again...
{John 14:3}
"Hope is one of theological virtues." {CS Lewis}
Lewis meant that looking forward to heaven is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but something we are meant to do. This doesn't mean we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history,you will find that the Christian who did the most for the present world were those who thought the most of the next.
"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at the earth, and you will get neither."
{CS Lewis}
In the midst of the pessimism, gloom, and frustration of this present hour there is a bright beacon of hope: Jesus' promise "If I go... I will come again and receive you to myself". Have a blessed day.
