Whoever burns with love for God and desires to attain what the Lord Himself called the Kingdom of Heaven, the Lord will grant it to him.
The Kingdom of Heaven is when the Lord dwells in a person's heart, and he experiences the most indescribable bliss in communion with God.
You could tear such a person to pieces, do whatever you want with him—nothing can separate him from the love of Christ, nothing can shake them, no external circumstances, because the joy of knowing the Lord is with you is inexhaustible, unchanging, and cannot be diminished in any way.
This is true Christian spiritual life.
