Lift up your mind to God. Naturally it is low and animal and fleshly, like the beasts of the field. Clean out the things that hold it down. Fill it with things that will raise it up. The higher you go, the further you can see -- the broader the view, the more glorious the prospect. Most minds are in narrow ditches of their own making: hemmed in by the humdrum immediate present: the passing, meaningless, animal things -- self-created problems and frustrations. Lift your sights. Lift your heart. Lift your mind to glory and eternity. The mind of man is the most marvelous thing in God's creation. Man was designed to fill his mind with God, to be a divinely reflecting vessel of beauty and glory and honor. What tragic failure! What lost potential! But the Divine Plan WILL work out at last, and a small, faithful, purified remnant of mankind, wise in their generation, will attain divine glory.

Lift the mind to God. Work toward this as a permanent condition. It is life.
