I think we have it wrong.  Those that spent their life seeking heaven, strictly in my opinion, miss the point.  The point is to seek Jesus and God.  Heaven is the reward for the journey.  If we spent time putting that journey to heaven above seeking God, then the journey is destined to fail.   If you put them on equal footing and seek both at the same time, again you are destined to fail.  However, again just my opinion, If you seek God, then heaven is no longer something you need to focus on as it will be taken care of by seeking God.

I hope I made sense.

amen...heaven is our inheritance, our promise, we don't need to seek our promise, only the one who promises it...amen

I guess I read the title wrong...alas seeking is the not the same a praying the kingdom of heaven would come. or is it.

"thy Kingdom come" in the Lord's prayer does not mean I am seeking Heaven but rather wanting it to hurry up and get here!   What say you?
