Jesus gives the soul the environment it needs to thrive.

The human soul must have a higher vision in order to flourish. A vision limited to this temporal world is not enough. The soul needs eternal hope, eternal life, and friendship with God. It needs the presence of God.

To truly thrive, the soul must be immersed in the eternal. It cannot survive on the temporal alone. It cannot thrive on materialism, money, entertainment, pleasure, or possessions. These things are too shallow to lift the soul.

There is a song I really like titled “Lift Your Vision Higher.” For the health of our souls, this is exactly what we must do.
