The Gordian knot “might” be cut by looking at the question of, “for whose sake would you want to be a heavenly person?” If it’s for your sake, then you haven’t gotten God’s love yet. If it’s for God’s sake, then you have. And make no mistake, the goal is to be heavenly. Even though it can’t be completely reached on earth.

This seems to be less about cutting a knot and more about finding something else to focus on.

Please explain, “Finding something else to focus on.”

Is that supposed to be good, or bad?

Although indeed, looking at the question from that viewpoint avoids the “Good Luck!” which violates the command of Christ not to be anxious, and the Old Testament advice not to fret.

If you thoroughly don’t want God’s love, God won’t force it. It would not be love. Both heaven and hell are voluntary participant sports, not spectator sports.
