One, the weight of your conscience must far outweigh the weight of a feather. Two, any impurities in your heart must weigh no more than one feather. The purer your heart, the lighter your spirit will be. The lighter your spirit, the closer to light it will float. The closer to light it is permitted to go, the higher it will float. The higher it floats, the closer to God you will be. Heaven has seven layers. The vibrations of your good deeds, which will be reflected by the weight of your conscience and the purity of your heart, will determine the layer in which your soul will reside. Your goal is to make your heart as light as a feather. The heavier the heart, the more chained to this hell it will remain.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["afterlife","balance","chained","conscience","death","doing-good","faith","feather","goal","god","good","good-and-bad","good-and-evil","good-deeds","goodness","heart","heaven","heaven-and-hell","heavy-heart","hell","journey","judge","judgement-day","layer","life","light-heart","living","morality","religion","scales","soul","spirit","spirituality","suzy-kassem"],"id":12988,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"Do good and be a good person because that’s just what the Lord expects.

We must learn to realize that “now” is happening and will very soon be gone. We must look at the digits on the display and be overcome with an urge to do something before those digits change. Before “now” slips through our fingers. We must look at the ink on the calendar and see an immediate opportunity to do something wonderful, incredible, or beautiful.It’s that simple.
