Dr. B. H. Carroll, who died in 1914, was an expositional preacher and Christian leader who published thirty-three books and is best known today for a multi-volume commentary on the Bible. His zeal for evangelism and Christian education was legendary. If you want to know his motivational secret, read what he wrote in his commentary on the four Gospels: "In my own experience," he said, "the brightest hour was when I got my first glorious conception of heaven, and it has been the power of my Christianity ever since."

On the cross, our Lord's thoughts were of where He would be by sundown. He proffered the same comfort to the thief who believed on Him. In our own times of trouble and weariness, it’s our hope of our Lord’s return and of our eternal home in heaven that uplifts and sustains us. Whatever happens around us, we can always glance at the sunrise or sunset or see the twinkling stars and remind ourselves of our eternal destiny.
Knowing that Christ will return one day helps us persevere in times of trouble.
When we see by faith the invisible things of heaven, it has an uplifting power, it has an attracting power, higher above the earth, nearer to God all the time.
