We ought to be continually growing in holiness; and in that respect coming nearer and nearer to heaven—We should be endeavouring to come nearer to heaven, in being more heavenly; becoming more and more like the inhabitants of heaven, in respect of holiness and conformity to God; the knowledge of God and Christ; in clear views of the glory of God, the beauty of Christ, and the excellency of divine things, as we come nearer to the beatific vision.
Jonathan Edwards,
The Christian Pilgrim or A True Christian's Life, A Journey Towards Heaven, 1733

Absolutely love your header and its meaning. Blessings to you! Came here via Rabbit's blog trail, and glad I did. Glad that to find others who enjoy Jonathan Edwards' quotes. Some very good links on your sidebar! May the Lord bless you in unexpected ways this New Year in Him.
Blessings,
