In my travels, I have found that those who keep heaven in view remain serene and cheerful in the darkest day.

This, however, is a serious misunderstanding of what the Bible actually teaches. The Bible says that God is absolutely holy and pure, and even one sin — just one — would be enough to keep us out of heaven.
