Perception

We don’t see things how they are, we see things how we are.
That is why to see the Kingdom of Heaven on earth we must surrender all to Christ Jesus. 

Rom_12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Repentance means to 'change our perspective to God's perspective'. We change our mind through gratitude, thankfulness, and repetitively meditating on God's promises. He heals our hearts as we give him everything in our hearts that is not aligned with Heaven.

Mat 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
To be poor in spirit is not only to be humble but also to be emptied in our spirit, not holding on to the old things of the old self but unloaded to receive the new things, the things of the Kingdom of the Heaven.”
