Made for the heights

Yesterday I read an article on how to resist temptation. It gave several practical tips culled from two biblical figures: Joseph (he of the technicolor robe) and Job. What has struck me most was one tip that says that we must remember our dignity as God's children, His image and likeness.
Of course, in life falling into sin is something normal. That is why Jesus exhorts us to be merciful. That is why Jesus talks to us about sick people needing doctors. That is why Jesus narrated the stories of the lost sheep, the lost coin, the lost son. That is why we have the sacrament of Confession.
But I believe that it would do us well to focus on this positive thing: We are not chicken meant to pick on food that we find on the ground. We are eagles. We are meant for the heights. I guess this is one secret the saints have discovered and have staked their lives on.
We are meant for the stars, not the heights of fame, success and fortune.
We are meant for God, all the rest are passing. After all, holiness is not about our perfection. It's all about turning my life towards God.
