Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. — Colossians 3:2, 3.
Frivolities are unworthy of a child of God. Life is too earnest and solemn to be occupied with follies and passing vanities. So long as the passing pleasures and pleasantries of this world, its gaiety and gaudiness, practically sway us, our affections are not dislodged from lower things, and seated with Christ in heavenly places. A higher experience of transferred affections will make these vanities vexatious to the spirit, one of the surest signs of Heaven-fixed affections. — R. McMurdo.
Our hearts by Thee are set
On brighter things above;
Strange that we ever should forget
Thine own most faithful love.
