the Spirit of God

Wisdom and ( can't remember )

These are what we need to understand the spirit of God. To look upon what is above and make it our goal
to win souls so that when we get to Heaven we will not be empty handed and lived our lives in vain.

Our physical self lives in this world hence some may be lost or even become too focussed on the things of the world but if we just keep the faith, we will be able to draw our eyes to what is the ultimate goal and not on earthly temporal riches or wealth.

There was a story that goes once upon a time a man died and went to Heaven. St Peter was at the gates of Heaven to welcome the man.

The man brought 2 bags of stuff with him as he approached the gates of Heaven. Peter asked him," What's in the bags that you have brought ?"

The man replied, "This is gold ! All my life I have been working so hard to achieve these 2 bags of gold. "

Peter : " Hey dude, gold is used to pave the roads in Heaven. 2 bags of gold isn't worth much here. "

This story tells us that what we see as important might not be really important in the end. Vice versa, what we neglect around us may ultimately be very important in the end.
