• Choosing one thing over another doesn't necessarily mean we love the thing we choose. If given the choice to eat spinach or broccoli, you may choose broccoli. It may only mean you don't want to eat spinach. Heaven is not for people who just want to skip Hell.

If someone doesn't have much use for praising Him now, it's foolish to think they're ready for Heaven.
