Wanted: More Heavenly-Mindedness
It is not heavenly-mindedness that binds the hands of love.
On the contrary, it is the worldly desire for Egypt’s pleasures and the worldly fear of suffering that shackles the hands of love.
But when a person looks away from the world to the exceedingly great reward of God’s promises, and lives with a deep confidence in the coming glory of the children of God, the shackles of worldliness are broken and the hands of love are freed.
